Blue Archive Returns to Both Games
Popular content from the first and second Blue Archive collaborations is coming back to World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends.
In World of Warships, nine Blue Archive captains, including Wakamo, Maki, Nonomi, Shiroko, and Serika, return from October 7 (Wednesday) to December 2 (Wednesday). Seven Blue Archive collaboration ships also sail again: "BA Tirpitz," "BA Montana," "BA 高梁," "BA Arona's Whale," "BA Hovercraft," "BA Utnapishtim's," and "BA Binah."
In World of Warships: Legends, eight captains (Nonomi, Ayane, Hoshino, Shiroko, Serika, Yuuka, Maki, and Wakamo) return from October 5 (Monday) to December 7 (Monday), together with five ships: "BA Montana," "BA Tirpitz," "BA Utnapishtim's Ship," "BA Binah," and "BA Hovercraft." A special skin for Takahashi also arrives alongside these returning ships. The returning content is available in the Store and in the Blue Archive II containers. A special mission also offers a chance to earn one free Blue Archive II container along with a set of themed camouflages.
Pacific Front Strategy Event in World of Warships
World of Warships kicks off October with the strategy event Pacific Front. Players join an operation made up of a series of battles, working toward a final showdown with the main objective. Winning that final battle earns Progress Tokens, and rewards can be obtained on a reward track that includes the American Tier VI Premium destroyer Monaghan.
From October 15 (Thursday), the "Uncharted Seas" event begins, featuring two Tier VIII destroyers: the Pan-Asian Datong and the Dutch Philips van Almonde. These ships can be obtained with Seafarer Tokens, which can also be exchanged for rewards such as enemy destruction effects, permanent camouflages, and rare bonuses. The Italian Tier IX cruiser La Spezia also arrives in the Armory and can be obtained with Research Points.

"Road to New Year" Event in World of Warships: Legends
The October update for World of Warships: Legends introduces a new four-week campaign, "The Foghorn's Bride." By using Admiralty Backing to complete 80 milestones, players can earn the British Tier VIII Premium cruiser Aberdeen. The ship carries four twin 152 mm turrets that fire AP shells with improved ricochet angles, and its high reload speed lets it deal damage to enemy ships quickly.
The "Road to New Year" event has also been running since October 5 (Monday), offering a special chance to obtain rare ships for free, including the American Legendary Tier Premium battleship Ohio, the Soviet Tier VII Premium battleship Lenin, and the French Tier VII Premium battleship Jean Bart.
Also from October 5, the Pan-American Legendary Tier destroyer La Pampa arrives in the Store and can be obtained with Steel. The British Legendary Tier battleship St. Vincent also appears as a Bureau Project.
