World of Warships is in the middle of Update 15.5, which introduces a Decals customization feature and a campaign tied to the 250th anniversary of American independence, while a separate educational stream on torpedo history is scheduled for June 16.
World of Warships is rolling out Update 15.5 on June 18, adding a new Decals customization system for ship hulls. The feature is initially limited to Tier IX vessels, with plans to expand to more ships later. The update also includes a four-chapter story campaign called Dawn of the Shining Era, tied to the 250th anniversary of American independence, and an event pass. Players can earn the Tier VIII premium cruiser Congress, a historical commander, and cosmetic items through the campaign.
Separately, Wargaming Japan is hosting the sixth edition of "The Museum's Longest Night" on June 16, a four-hour Twitch stream covering 160 years of torpedo development. Seven maritime museums from the US, Norway, England, and Australia will provide expert commentary. In-game torpedo missions will run alongside the event, linking gameplay to the educational content.
The two stories show World of Warships continuing to blend historical themes with gameplay updates, using both in-game events and external partnerships to engage players. The Decals feature represents a new layer of ship customization, while the campaign and stream tie into real historical milestones and museum collaborations.
