Let’s go over some of the main new features of the coming update.
Halloween
Update 12.9 introduces a new Halloween Operation: Last Chapter. Joining the Forces of Light against the Twilight Fleet, this time the missions is to escort Transylvania armed with a special explosive to the Portal.
It will be able to participate in Last Chapter in Tier VIII-IX ships of all types. Ships will change appearance, gaining a themed camouflage and special visual effects, as well as receive special modifiers that will help even out the performance of all ships.
As in previous Halloween events, the map is covered in Filth that gradually damages ship if you stay in it, however, this time Transylvania is using magic to create a safe zone around her that moves with the ship. The magic weakens over the course of the battle and the safe zone becomes smaller until it reaches its minimum size.
Early Access to Japanese Battleships and Heroic Battle Collection
Japanese battleships Yumihari, Adatara, and Bungo in Early Access for the Updated 12.9.
Added permanent camouflages Kuraokami for Adatara and Mizuchi for Bungo, as well as a permanent camouflage Ryujin for Tsurugi. Also, a new Japanese Battleships flag has been added to the game.
Port Kure has been decorated for the occasion.
A new themed collection will be added to the game: it will consist of 60 elements from Heroic Battle containers. The reward for completing the collection will be the Mount Fuji Sunrise permanent camouflage for Yumihari.
