As part of International Museum Day, Wargaming is hosting the "Long Night of Museums" on May 18, an annual livestream event that will highlight maritime history for the fifth time. The event offers players the opportunity to retrace the development of iconic warships from the Second World War and be fascinated by museums around the world. This year, facilities such as the USS Wisconsin, USS Intrepid and the Technikmuseum U-Boot Wilhelm Bauer are taking part, offering impressive insights into maritime history and its impact on naval warfare.

A special highlight is the presentation of the Naval Museum Atlas, an interactive digital platform that connects players with naval museums and historical institutions worldwide. The atlas features a map of nine museums worldwide and is set to grow further in the future. Visitors will benefit from practical information for real-life visits, while future features will offer exclusive in-game benefits such as bonus codes and special content. In this way, Wargaming successfully combines the virtual gaming experience with the real world of maritime heritage.

In addition, World of Warships brings a wide range of new content to its fans. Operation Dynamo returns to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the historic evacuation from Dunkirk. Players can unlock various rewards such as camouflage and containers via an extensive Event Pass. In addition, there are strategic challenges in the harbor, in which historical maps and ships play the main role.

The new game mode "Dangerous Route" adds action-packed challenges: Players escort a damaged command ship through enemy waters, which are peppered with constant barrage fire. Using ships of levels VIII to IX, they must use their skills to successfully complete the mission. The mode offers intense moments and requires strategic thinking.

The May update also has surprises in store with new content from Azur Lane, Soviet submarines, continued construction of the cruiser Blücher 1939 and new ranked battles and skirmishes. With its extensive mix of history and strategy, World of Warships remains an impressive experience for history buffs and fans of maritime adventure.
