January may be dreary, but the Lunar New Year celebrations are bringing a burst of excitement to the gaming world, including the intense naval battles of World of Warships Legends. This year, the game is set to celebrate with a spectacular Wukong-themed event, inspired by the mythical monkey king from the classic novel "Journey to the West." This beloved character is not only a staple in Asian literature but is now making waves in the naval combat simulator.
The Lunar New Year event introduces Sun Wukong as a commander guise available for all nations, accompanied by his Pan-Asian Tier VII Premium cruiser, also named Wukong. Alongside, players can expect a variety of skins inspired by characters from the novel, adding a unique flair to their fleet. But the festivities don't stop there; the update also includes a campaign for the French Tier VII Premium battleship Picardie, ensuring there's plenty of new content to explore.
World of Warships Legends is also bringing back previous Lunar New Year content, allowing players to revisit the Celestial Guardian commander guise with daily bonuses. Ornate skins for Pan-Asian and Japanese ships will be available, and players can look forward to Lunar Year '25 crates in the store and in-game, offering exclusive rewards including the Japanese Tier VI Premium cruiser Tokachi.
