Improvements and bug fixes
Reforged in Red campaign
The new Reforged in Red campaign runs from June 1 to 29 and features Soviet Tier VII Premium destroyer Provorny as the main reward. Her long-range main guns deal high damage thanks to AP shells with good penetration and improved ricochet angles. She also features solid HP and the Repair Party consumable.
To receive Provorny, complete the campaign's 80 milestones within 4 weeks with an active Admiralty Backing. If you miss any challenges, you can always use the built-in catch-up mechanic.

Thunderer Marathon Starts
Steam post image
Captains, don't miss the start of the new marathon—this time for British Legendary Tier battleship Thunderer, outfitted with a special skin! She's a sister ship to Conqueror, featuring eight 18-inch (457 mm) guns with battlecruiser dispersion and excellent HE performance that gives her one of the highest fire-starting chances in the game. She's also equipped with effective AP shells, great concealment, and good maneuverability.
Similar to previous marathons, this one spans three consecutive updates from the upcoming one. To receive Thunderer, you need to collect 20,000 Ship Parts through various sources. During this update, which runs from June 1 to 29, you'll be able to earn up to 6,000 Ship Parts through the Reforged in Red campaign and the Endless Waters Calendar, plus up to an additional 5,000 Ship Parts as a bonus with the new medieval-themed content.
Medieval Legends
Our new event draws inspiration from the medieval era, bringing epic castles, noble knights and ladies, and a heroic spirit to the seas. From June 1 to 29, visit the Store to discover new British battleship Dover, inspired by Dover Castle, along with medieval-themed Commander guises and special skins for Schröder, Lazo, Jäger, and Mackensen that transform these ships into famous European fortresses. You can also find the new content in Medieval Chests, several of which will be available through the Reforged in Red campaign, "Salt and Iron" mission, and Endless Waters Calendar. This new 3-week Calendar is also part of the event, offering a noble lady Commander guise as its main reward.
Note that Ship Parts for the Thunderer marathon are added as a bonus with the new medieval content!
Battle of Midway Event
Commemorate the Battle of Midway—one of the largest naval battles of World War II, fought in the Pacific in June 1942. From June 1 to 29, visit the dedicated section in the Store to find historical warships, including Atlanta, Monaghan, and a new choice bundle that lets you select one of two rare ships—Yukikaze or Enterprise. These ships will be available for Midway Coins, obtainable via direct purchase or via special missions found in the Store. One mission can be unlocked for Global XP, and three more will be available for doubloons (each of these three can be purchased and completed up to four times). Completing missions will allow you to earn twice as many Midway Coins for the same price compared to purchasing them directly.
Another themed mission—Midway Gambit—will be available to everyone during the update. Complete it to receive Steel, American and Japanese Commander Crates, and the Battle of Midway flag.
New Bureau Project: Attilio Regolo
Italian Legendary Tier destroyer Attilio Regolo will become available as a Bureau Project starting June 1. This new ship features 135 mm main guns with SAP and HE shells, solid HP, extremely high speed, and Exhaust Smoke Generator to effectively hide from enemies.
If you've read this far, take this secret code and enjoy the gift: redeem T1CD4A2JHA to receive 1x Summer Big Crate, 10x Type 1 camouflages, 10x Common Battle Boosters, and the Captain Reader flag (if you've redeemed patch note codes before, you may already own the flag).
New Ship for Steel: Smolensk
The new Soviet Legendary Tier cruiser Smolensk is arriving for Steel! This light cruiser features 16 rapid-firing 5.1-inch (130 mm) guns, providing huge HE damage per minute and setting enemies on fire. She's also equipped with potent torpedo armament and a solid set of consumables: Smoke Generator, Repair Party, and a choice between Sonar and Defensive AA Fire. You'll find the new ship in the Forge section of the Store starting June 1. She'll remain available indefinitely, even after the update ends. Need more Steel? Here's where you can earn it during this update:
Midway Gambit mission: Up to 300 Steel
Ranked Seasons 102 and 103: Up to 2,400 Steel total
Fleet Cup: Up to 2,000 Steel
Weekly Assignments: Up to 600 Steel total
Reforged in Red campaign: Up to 250 Steel weekly through Endless Trials, which unlock after completing the campaign with the Admiralty Backing. If you buy out the campaign on day 1 and complete all Endless Trials, you can get up to 1,000 Steel total.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Return to Legends
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming back to Legends from June 1 to 29, along with new Commander guises of April O'Neil and Master Splinter! Team up with your favorite characters, try the Turtle Lair skin for Napoli or Foot Clan skin for Schlieffen, and don't forget to grab Pizza Time Crate II—one is available through a special mission!

Ranked Battles: Seasons 102–103
Join two new seasons of Ranked Battles featuring 5v5 battles with Tier VII and VIII ships! Among the rewards are Steel, a Russian Commander crate, Epic Boosters, Commander Progression Items, and Epic Main Battery Mod. 3.
Season 102: June 2–8; only Tier VII ships, no aircraft carriers
Season 103: June 16–22; only Tier VIII ships
Note that we've slightly updated the rules: if a team loses a battle or ends it in a draw, the top XP earner will now keep a Star only if they are not in a Division.
Fleet Cup: Season 7
The new Fleet Cup season is on the way! Team up with other players in Fleet Divisions, take the helm of a Tier VII Tech Tree ship, and battle through four tournament stages. Season 7 will run every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from June 5 to 29.
Sea Trials: Ships for Rent in the Store
From June 1 to 29, visit the Sea Trials section of the Store to try out any of the following ships for 10 days for 1,000 doubloons each: Wichita, Ashitaka, Cossack, Leone, or Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya. Once you rent a ship, you'll receive a coupon granting a 1,000-doubloon discount on purchasing that ship in the Ships section of the Store until June 29, so if you decide to buy the ship, you'll effectively get the rental cost back.
Quality-of-life Improvement: Ships No Longer Stay Locked After Being Sunk
Good news for those tired of waiting for battles to end so you can deploy the same ship again! You can now take the same ship into a new battle immediately after it's destroyed. If you want to prepare the ship for the next battle, you can freely change upgrades, modifications, Commanders, exteriors, and more even while the previous battle is still ongoing. To select a ship that's still considered destroyed in another ongoing battle, you'll need to pay repair costs similar to those shown on the Post-Battle Results screen. Note that if you leave the battle before your ship sinks, you'll still have to wait until the battle ends.
Play Legends and turn the tide!
