World of Warships Update 15.7 begins Holiday Convoy, a reward event designed to run across six updates. Its pool contains 11 rare, epic and legendary ships, including returning vessels and new arrivals such as Rodina, Togasa, Latouche-Tréville and New Jersey.

World of Warships: confirmed details

Daily combat missions award Holiday Convoy Tokens, while Steel, Research Points and Coal can also be converted. The first Pan-American destroyer branch enters Early Access with AP-focused artillery, enhanced ricochet angles and an improved Repair Party offset by weak short-range torpedoes and smaller health pools.

What changes for players

The AA rework replaces Priority Sector with a 360-degree AA Defense Priority boost and adds charge-based Concentrated AA Fire. That shifts defense away from selecting one side, while new carrier support consumables can extinguish allied fires or restore health.

Timing and wider context

Holiday Convoy rewards and exchange values span multiple updates, so players should check the current stage before converting scarce resources. Early Access ships and the AA redesign can still receive balance adjustments.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 12, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.

For World of Warships, the practical checkpoint is the live client: confirm the installed version, platform notes and regional rollout before relying on a scheduled feature. Store availability, maintenance windows and certification can create timing differences even when the developer announces one date for the wider release.
