[h2]Celebrate 9 Years of World of Warships![/h2] Update 13.8 marks the 9th Anniversary of our game, so—as has become tradition—we're going all out with the celebration for our players! [h3]Claim Anniversary Rewards[/h3] Throughout the update, you'll be able to claim special Anniversary rewards by exchanging [b]Festive Tokens[/b] (more on those a little further down) in the Armory. Among the rewards, you'll find: [list] [*][b]Rochester[/b] (U.S. Tier VIII Premium cruiser) [*]The [b]Stellar Pioneer[/b] permanent camouflage for [b]Benson[/b] [*]Supercontainers [*]Battle of Paso de Patria containers [*]And more!

With this mechanic, all you have to do is achieve specific combat results playing your Tier V+ ships to earn [b]Festive Tokens[/b]. You can receive several rewards simultaneously without having to play each individual ship, and you'll now obtain Battle Performance Bonuses for your selected ship by earning cumulative Base XP. You can also trigger additional Battle Performance Bonuses for different ships while playing the same ship multiple times. So you can play your favorite ship and activate Battle Performance Bonuses for as many other ships in your Port as you like. [h3]Festive Event Pass[/h3] Event Pass 13.8 incorporates UI improvements highlighting important rewards, as well as general visual improvements. Among the rewards of the first progression line, you'll be able to obtain Festive Tokens, Battle of Paso de Patria containers, and [b]Ipiranga[/b] (Pan-American Tier VIII battleship) as the final reward.

We're also adding the new "Collection Token" system to in-game collections as a whole, which will streamline the use of duplicate collection items to complete collections. [h2]Operations Update[/h2] With the release of Update 13.8, Operations Defense of Naval Station Newport, Raptor Rescue, "The Ultimate Frontier," Hermes, Aegis, and Cherry Blossom will have their tier requirements expanded, allowing Tier VI–X ships and superships to participate.
