World of Warships new collaboration with Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton is now underway and will run until 16th April. This latest collaboration brings with it a powerful new ‘Yamato’ vessel, ‘The Legend of Sabaton’ Collection, a new commander, and much more.
In this latest collaboration to feature Sabaton, players will have the chance to gain frontman Joakim Brodén as a Commander, with voiceovers from Joakim and bass player Pär Sundström. As a commander, players will have the standard battle soundtrack replaced by their single ‘Yamato’, or their previous warship-related single ‘Bismarck’.
The Legend of Sabaton Collection will take players on a journey through the band’s history via themed Standard and Premium containers. By collecting these, players will discover personal messages and facts about the band. Those who manage to complete the collection will receive the ‘Crowned in Smoke and Flame’ permanent camouflage for Yamato, Commander Joakim Brodén, and five “Metal Flames” permanent camouflages. There are also special bundles to be found with commemorative flags, a Sabaton Patch and a new ‘Into the Fire’ enemy destruction effect.
Along with the collaboration, there’s also a new Event Pass and returning Operations. The Battle of Cape Matapan Event Pass commemorates the 85th anniversary of the battle for Mediterranean supremacy between Britain and Italy, with themed rewards available, including the new Italian Tier VII premium cruiser Fiume. Three returning Operations – Arctic Convoy, Tokyo Express, and Pacific Offensive also become permanently available. The Okinawa map also sees a rebalance.
Beyond the PC version of World of Warships, Sabaton will make an appearance in World of Warships: Blitz from 13th to 17th March, in World of Warships: Legends between 30th March and 4th May, and in World of Tanks: Modern Armour between 17th and 30th March.
