August 16th - Wargaming, the publisher and developer of the world’s leading naval battle MMO World of Warships, is excited to announce its first collaboration with developer NEXON GAMES and publishers NEXON Korea Corporation, marking the arrival of the tactical role-playing game, Blue Archive. The first wave of the crossover brings a wide array of new premium ships, student Commanders from Blue Archive, skins, patches, and much more for players to enjoy across World of Warships and World of Warships: Legend this August.

Set sail with loveable Blue Archive heroes

Beginning on August 5th in World of Warships: Legends and August 15th for World of Warships for PC, Blue Archive is set to sail the seas in style with a wealth of collaborative content. For the first time, players will be able to command their ships with popular characters from Blue Archive, including Nonomi, Ayane, Hoshino, Shiroko, and Serika. All five new Commanders are equipped with individual voiceovers, and players will hear background music playing during battles when they select Blue Archive Commanders to command their ships.

To commemorate their arrival, three new premium ships will be available for players to helm across the seven seas. Included amongst the roster will be the German battleship BA Tirpitz, inspired by Izayoi Nonomi from Blue Archive, the American battleship BA Montana, inspired by Takanashi Hoshino from Blue Archive, and the Japanese cruiser BA Takahashi, inspired by Okusora Ayane from Blue Archive. Each of these premium vessels embody the spirit of Blue Archive.

To cap off all the new content, four new flags, one patch, and a base patch will be available to purchase, each showcasing beloved characters for the Blue Archive franchise, including Okusora Ayane, Izayoi Nonomi, Takanashi Hoshino, Master Shiba and more.


In addition, for limited time only, three new Blue Archive containers will be available for purchase, celebrating the crossover between the two iconic franchises. The three new containers will be sold for 3 weeks with only one container available for purchase each week. Players will receive Blue Archive Tokens when purchasing any of the new containers, allowing players to advance through the progress bar to unlock additional rewards including Master Shiba patch, Master Shiba commemorative flag, Commander Sunaookami Shiroko with 10 skill points, and Commander Kuromi Serika with 10 skill points.
