World of Warships Launches "Horror from the Abyss" Event

For players on PC, November also sees the "Horror from the Abyss" event running until 16 December. The Operation-based PvE event finds players investigating unusual events and a mysterious cult. Playing in teams of seven against bots, the first four weeks bring new Operations, followed by a random rotation that features added twists to mechanics. Completing these Operation tasks gives players Stars, which can be traded in for themed prizes on the event track, and to customize the event's rental ship, Expeditioner, to fit a large variety of playstyles.

European cruisers also sail in Early Access, available until 13 January, before their full release in the Tech Tree. This line of seven ships spans from the Tier IV historical Polish cruiser Dragon to the Swedish Tier X cruiser Vanadis, and offers players long-range, high-speed torpedoes as well as good damage in its main battery. Players ready to get hands-on with these ships can unlock three low-tier ships through the Black Friday Event Pass, as well as three mythology-inspired permanent camouflages.
