The 12.3 update for Wargaming's World of Warships comes with quite a few noticeable changes, such as general access to British subs, the new Seychelles map, early access to Pan-American cruisers, the Allied Heroes collection, a fresh Battle Pass, as well as the usual set of multiple minor tweaks and fixes.

Having been around for over 8 years, Wargaming's World of Warships continues to receive consistent updates on a regular basis. The latest one is labeled 12.3 and, as usual, it comes with new ships, events, a brand-new Battle Pass, as well as a very long list of under-the-hood changes. A fresh install of the game requires a huge 57 GB download and a total of over 100 GB of disk space to be completed successfully.

Without further ado, these are the highlights of the 12.3 update for World of Warships:

  • The new Seychelles map, which includes many small islands alongside Praslin and La Digue. This map is available in Random and Co-op Battles with Tier V–IX ships.
  • The Kure Dockyward returns with the tier IX Daisen battleship construction event.
  • British subs now available for all players to research.
  • Pan-American cruisers join the game as early access-stage military hardware.
  • A new Battle Pass with King of the Sea and Rare Bonuses containers as part of the final reward.
  • The Allied Heroes collection. It consists of six pages, each with two elements. 
  • The Inca Trail adventure, which will start on May 12 and last for two weeks.
  • Naval Superiority, a new combat mission type.

In addition to the above, World of Warships 12.3 also includes Warhammer 40,000-themed content such as commanders, ships, or camouflages, new unique upgrades for Halland and Venezia, updated sound effects, refreshed descriptions, icons, and pop-up hints for the Burst Fire mode, and much more.

The full list of minor changes and improvements in this update can be found on this support page, where those interested can also check these details for the game's previous patches, starting with update 0.9.8.   

Same as before, those who want to experience the World of Warships battles on mobile devices and consoles can enjoy World of Warships Blitz and World of Warships: Legends.
