Hello, Admirals!
Today, we would like to put the spotlight on some fantastic features that are heading your way, along with some highly requested updates based on the concepts that many Admirals have suggested.
Upcoming World War & new features that will offer a different kind of game experience for everyone!
Here are the details:
■ [Eve Festival]
[World War Eve Festival] literally means the eve of the World War. This festival event will encourage our Admirals to gear up for the fiercest battles to come, prior to the start of the World War.
The Eve Event will be held only for Admirals eligible to participate in the World War.
Soon, you will see info accessible via the [World War Details] icon at the Base of Operation or [World War Preparation] icon.
(*Maximum of 75 Alliance members can participate in the World War Eve Festival Event depending on the Alliance Research progress.)
The World War schedule will be updated in correlation with the addition of the [Eve Festival].

During the Eve Festival, a competition between Admirals from the contending servers will unfold and the World War participants will do their best to work as a team to acquire more Points.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to obtain Points in Eve Festival:
[How to Obtain Points]
1. Use Stamina
2. Use Boost items
3. Build a new Ship (Points obtained will vary depending on the Ship tier.)
4. Equipment Upgrade/Reforge
(*The Points will be accumulated up to 10 stages.)
During the World War Eve Festival, each server competes for Points. The Eve event concludes when a server obtains the stage 10 rewards.
Each qualified server will be able to obtain rewards based on their achieved stage at the end of the Eve Festival.
The World War Eve Festival Rewards will consist of in-game items and buffs applied until the end of World War.
More Details will be provided through a separate announcement.
※ Eve Festival Individual Ranking will be added in a future update.

■ Addition of Forced Return Function
There have been cases where an error occurs where Ships are sporadically unable to be deployed during gameplay.
Although we have been acting to resolve these situations on a case-by-case basis, there were some situations where we could not assist as quickly as we’d hoped. In these cases, we must sincerely apologize.
As many Admirals have provided detailed feedback regarding the specific circumstances involved, and in some cases have requested for a Forced Return function, we are planning to add the Forced Return function to Aircraft Carrier/Fleet in the following manner.
In the event of an unexpected deployment problem or anomaly, you can quickly return your Fleet or Aircraft Carrier by using this function.

■ Challenge Content Update
In the previous Development Note - June, we discussed the concept of a New Enemy Unit Type that would be added.
The new Challenge content is en route! Admirals will be required to defeat increasingly difficult challengers, and in the end, over content that will encourage Admirals to challenge themselves.
As many of you have varying Combat Power levels, utilize multiple formation types, a variety of strategies will be needed.
It is expected that this content will provide a very different, engaging kind of game experience as well as provide a new direction for battle.
By defeating a variety of enemy types, with varied CP, Skill types and experience levels, these new, challenging battles will provide a continuous challenge platform that also contributes towards better rewards and higher difficulty!
We can’t wait to see how your new strategies unfold on the battlefield!
■ New Event [O/X Quiz]
The latest “new feature” bit we’d like to introduce to you in this Development Note is the [O/X Quiz]! A real-time, active participation event where Admirals take part in a Yes/No, quiz-based field with your Aircraft Carrier.
You can participate by deploying your Aircraft Carrier to either the O or X zones based near the Base of Operation.
You will accumulate Points for each correct answer and obtain rewards.
The more questions you answer correctly, the more Points you will accumulate.
Even if some Admirals get the wrong answer, we are planning to provide Points as participation rewards, which will allow more Admirals to enjoy the feature.
More details and rewards will be provided soon before the update.
The [Challenge] content and the [O/X Quiz] are still under development and may take a little longer to implement than might be anticipated. However, we plan to provide a content update as soon as possible as the development process gets closer to the final stage.
Please stay tuned, Admirals!
■ Other Updates
That isn’t all! There are a few more things we’d like to share with you!
Names and descriptions will be added to different Paint Job designs that make your Aircraft Carriers stand out.
The new Icon will now be displayed to provide an indication as to if the Base of Operation special debuffs are applied!
Detailed information on the stats and the required quantity of Blueprints needed can be viewed now according to the level of the Aircraft Carrier!
[Air-Strike Help Page] will be included in the Battle Reports for Air-Strike Failures!
And that brings this Development Note to a close! Not only will we be bringing in new content, events, and features that many of our Admirals have suggested, but we’ll be providing more convenient gameplay features that add to the fun and strategic depth of ocean combat.
We will always do our best to listen to our Admirals, the feedback you provide, and develop content that our players will enjoy.
※ The contents and schedule in the Development Note are subject to change.
Thank you.
