Captains, we have prepared even more rewards and activities for you in Update 13.11!
Advent Calendar
With Update 13.11, the daily login rewards get a festive upgrade! By clicking the calendar icon in Nordlyshavn Port, you’ll be able to access the new Advent Calendar. Each day from December 1st to December 25th, you can open a special door to reveal and claim a surprise reward!
This Advent Calendar replaces the standard daily login rewards for the month and even allows you to catch up if you miss a day — just be sure to claim any missed reward by the following day, or it will no longer be available. Discover a new surprise each day!
Please note that Update 13.11 will be released before December 1st, so you’ll continue receiving regular daily login rewards until then. A special rule applies to the final reward on December 25th, which can be claimed until December 31st. After that, the regular daily login calendar will resume on January 1st.
Custom Ship Destruction Effect
While we removed Magazine Detonation mechanic, we are adding a different kind of bang at the same time!
We're keeping the holiday train rolling with three new custom ship destruction effects, expanding on the new feature we recently added to the game! This will work very similarly to the effect that were introduced in update 13.10, but with a holiday flair! You can now add custom destruction effects to individual ships that will change the way you see enemy ships explode in the game - if you are the one to send them to the bottom of sea!
Enjoy the Avalanche, Kaleidoscope of Butterflies, and Festive Fireworks custom destruction effects below.
Event Pass
In Update 13.11, which spans six weeks, the story of Li Wei and Olaf Lundgren reaches its peak with two unique Event Passes, each centered on one of our protagonists with a dedicated chapter.
The first Event Pass chapter highlights Li Wei, while the second focuses on Olaf Lundgren, each bringing exclusive themed rewards, including new ships!
Each Event Pass chapter will last for three weeks, featuring 25 levels and functioning as a standalone pass, meaning that once the first chapter ends, you won’t be able to complete it retroactively. To make these shorter Event Passes easier to enjoy, we’ve added a few quality-of-life improvements:
- Mission requirements are now simpler than last year—just 1,000 Base XP in a day completes all daily missions.
- Weekly missions now require only 2,000 Base XP and can be completed twice.
- We’ve also placed the most valuable reward in the middle of each progression, so even players with limited activity during Update 13.11 can access the best rewards.
Keep in mind that after the first chapter wraps up, the level requirements will reset, making both Event Pass chapters balanced in terms of reward difficulty. Full details, including exact numbers, are available below!
Chapter 1: Adventure's Calling
In the first progression line, you’ll find exciting new content like the "Kaleidoscope of Butterflies" Custom Destruction effect, the Pan-Asian commander Li Wei with a unique voiceover, the new Avid Explorer patch, and Santa’s Gift containers.
The second progression line includes the Adventure’s Calling flag, the To the East permanent camouflage, Santa’s Gift containers, one Santa’s Mega Gift container, and—as the main reward—the new Tier VII Pan-Asian battleship Teng She at stage 12 of 25.
The extra level reward for both first and second progression lines will be 1x Santa's Gift Certificate.
Teng-She is inspired by Sinop, but has some qualities that set her apart. Armed with large-caliber guns that inherit Sinop’s devastating Soviet ballistics, Teng She delivers powerful salvos. However, unlike Sinop’s focus on close-range engagements, she benefits from accuracy settings comparable to those of US, UK, and German battleships, allowing her to engage effectively at any range.
To further enhance her versatility, Teng-She is equipped with the High-Precision Spotter consumable, extending her effective engagement range and making her a formidable opponent in long-range duels.

Chapter 2: Echoes of the Past
The first progression line will reward you with new content such as the Polar Pursuit patch, European commander Olaf Lundgren with an individual voiceover, the "Avalanche" Custom Ship Destruction effect, and Santa's Gift containers.
Some of the highlights awaiting you in the second progression line are Echoes of the Past flag, the To the West permanent camouflage, Santa's Gift containers, one Santa's Mega Gift container, and new tier VII European Battleship Lugdunum as the main reward.
Extra level reward for both first and second progression lines will be 1x Santa's Gift Certificate.
Lugdunum is a modified version of Lyon that's designed for captains who thrive in close-quarters combat and enjoy a secondary-focused playstyle. She features a slightly more accurate main battery compared to Lyon, which is coupled with a notably faster reload rate. While her AP and HE performance are not as formidable, her large salvo size ensures she still packs a punch.
What makes Lugdunum especially deadly in close-quarters combat is her secondary battery and great concealment. With an extended range, improved accuracy akin to the Schlieffen line, and a significant increase in DPM, she's ready to rain relentless fire on enemy ships.
