World of Warships Work in Progress: Update 15.6 Notes (25th

World of Warships Update 15.6 is still in testing, but the changes coming are substantial enough to reshape how you'll grind progression and navigate the map pool.

The biggest shift is the new Battle Pass system, which replaces the Event Pass with an interactive strategic map. Instead of a linear track, you're now capturing sectors using Battle Pass Points from daily and weekly missions. Each sector has a free reward, but you can spend Doubloons to upgrade areas, trigger special actions that buff rewards, or discount costs. It's a layer of strategy that rewards planning over just grinding through missions.

Unique Commanders are getting a major overhaul too. Achievements are no longer activation conditions, talents now scale differently depending on battle type, and some repair talents are being reworked to restore fixed HP instead of being capped by repairable damage. William F. Halsey Jr. is getting a new talent, Speed Is Life, replacing Untraceable. The Riposte map is also expanding beyond its current battle types with tailored versions for Co-op and Random Battles at Tiers VI-IX, and submarines now have full support thanks to an underwater layer.

Since this is still work in progress, some details may change before the update goes live.

Captains!

Update 15.6 will soon bring exciting new content for you, Captains! Here are some highlights you can look forward to:

Battle Pass: The new Battle Pass will run throughout Update 15.6, replacing the Event Pass with an interactive strategic map of three areas. You'll capture adjacent sectors using Battle Pass Points earned via daily and weekly missions. Every sector provides a free reward, and you can spend Doubloons to upgrade areas and get bonus rewards. Some sectors trigger special actions that buff rewards, discount sector costs, or add extra claim conditions, adding a layer of strategy to your path through the map.
Changes to Unique Commanders: A significant overhaul focused on making talents more accessible and consistent is coming in 15.6. Achievements will no longer be used as activation conditions, and talents now have different effects for different battle types. Some talent-activated repairs are also being reworked to restore a fixed amount of HP instead of being capped by repairable damage, and William F. Halsey Jr. is getting a new talent—Speed Is Life—which replaces Untraceable.
Riposte Map Changes: The map is expanding beyond its currently associated battle types, with tailored versions for Co-op and Random Battles—both available for Tiers VI–IX. The map's existing settings will remain in place for Brawl, Clan, and Ranked Battles. Submarines are now also fully supported across all battle types on Riposte thanks to an underwater layer being added to the map.
