World of Warships 15.11 Patch Notes (12th November 2026)

Wargaming has outlined the contents of World of Warships Update 15.11, which is scheduled to launch in December. The update is a 6-week-long holiday season update. Players will encounter a new Ice Station Port upon first entering the game, alongside a free researchable Tier IX ship and 2x Santa's Gift containers. Festive Rewards, also known as Snowflakes, return to ships, and clearing them off in battle gives Coal, Steel, or Festive Tokens to spend on more themed content.

Players can choose Honolulu or Akagi as their final reward. The adventure consists of five chapters, with some offering a choice between two combat mission chains.

Additionally, the Ōta Dockyard event returns, opening for the construction of the 12-gun Japanese light cruiser Ōta. The event consists of 20 phases, 18 of which can be completed through combat missions. The Soviet battleship Arkhangelsk appears as an intermediate reward at Phase 10.
