Captains!
In early February, we announced our plans for 2022. Over the months since our previous publication, many of our ideas have been implemented. More information about future changes to World of Warships is now available and some details have changed. It's high time we shared our development plans for the second half of 2022!
Please note that all the information contained in this document is preliminary. Any changes and new features that we announce may be adjusted several times during tests. During each of those testing rounds, we'll carefully consider your feedback and opinions. Now, let's get down to the details! To reveal the information, click on the respective blocks.

Game Events
We celebrated Lunar New Year.
Players had a chance to try out Dirigible Derby and fight in the Savage Battle on the Flooded City map.
Construction of Atlântico has started on the already familiar Clydebank Dockyard.
Improvements
Significant visual improvements have been implemented. Snow, ice, and sand on maps have become more realistic and spectacular, the ice build-up effect has appeared on ships and is visible in battles on snow-covered maps, and shadows on maps and ships now look more realistic.
A number of visual effects have been updated, and we're continuing to rework maps and Ports to bring them up to HD quality. By the way, we've released a Hot Fix episode covering our work on the World of Warships graphics. You can watch it here.
We've also disclosed the item drop chances for all containers. Check them out here.
