Pacific Front
- Pacific Front, a strategic event playable in the client and in a web browser, chains Operations together toward a final showdown against a Primary Target; its Progress Token reward track tops out at Tier VI Premium destroyer Monaghan.
- Black Friday arrives in the update's final week with four new 'B' ships - Incheon B, Victoria B, Hornet B and Flandre B - plus an experimental enemy-destruction counter and Black Friday Squadron missions.
- A Halloween Treats Event Pass and the returning Blue Archive collaboration (October 7 - December 2) headline the seasonal content, and the classic Ocean map got a weather rework built around a map-wide Cyclone.
- The Armory added Tier IX cruiser La Spezia for Research Points, and the Uncharted Seas event from October 15 offers destroyers Datong and Philips van Almonde for Seafarer Tokens.
For buyersSeveral of the update's ships are earned rather than sold outright: Monaghan comes from the Pacific Front reward track, while La Spezia costs Research Points - a currency that only comes from playing, not from the shop.

- A new Dockyard builds Tier IX battleship Marlborough B over 28 construction phases, with combat missions running into Update 15.9.
- Three new Operations for low-tier ships (Trial by Fire, Swarm of Steel, Beehive) scale their mechanics by tier, and Operation Killer Whale gained a Tier V-VI version.
