Scheduled to launch tomorrow, the "Red October" update will push the version number of World of Warships to 13.9. Its highlights include Mode Shuffle's return, an Event Pass dedicated to the German Navy, Soviet-themed rewards (hence the update's name), new missions, as well as multiple tweaks and fixes.
Available for Microsoft Windows since mid-September 2015, World of Warships now also has versions for consoles (WoWS Legends) and iOS/Android handsets (WoWS Blitz). A macOS version was also available for a while but has been discontinued. Tomorrow, the Windows version will get the 13.9 "Red October" label, an update that promises to come with quite a few new events alongside the usual tweaks and fixes.
Without further ado, these are the highlights of World of Warships 13.9 "Red October" that both old and new virtual captains should get ready to enjoy:
Mode Shuffle returns, this time including Epicenter, which replaces Arms Race, alongside Convoy and Airship Escort.
The "Unity, Justice, Freedom" Event Pass, dedicated to the German Navy, in celebration of German Unity Day.
Red October, the Soviet-focused Bounty Hunt, which allows players to obtain various rewards, including the new Kozma Minin tier IX cruiser.
Various missions as part of an adventure event inspired by the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
Tier X French cruiser Brennus, available via the Research Bureau for 60,000 RPs.
In addition to the above, it should also be mentioned that Pan-American battleships remain in the Early Access stage, and those interested can obtain them by using tokens, which can be acquired in battles or by using Doubloons. A few new ships are now being tested by developers, volunteers, and Community Contributors. The list includes the tier X Japanese cruiser Yari, the tier V European destroyer Kalmar, and a few others.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
