Let’s go over some of the main new features of the coming update.
Halloween
Update 12.9 introduces a new Halloween Operation – Last Chapter. You will join the Forces of Light in its final fight against the Twilight Fleet – this time your missions is to escort Transylvania armed with a special explosive to the Portal. Protect Transylvania from enemy forces and help her reach her destination to destroy the Portal once and for all.
You will be able to participate in Last Chapter in your own Tier VIII-IX ships of all types. Your ships will change appearance, gaining a themed camouflage and special visual effects, as well as receive special modifiers that will help even out the performance of all ships.
As in previous Halloween events, the map is covered in Filth that gradually damages your ship if you stay in it, however, this time Transylvania is using magic to create a safe zone around her that moves with the ship. The magic weakens over the course of the battle and the safe zone becomes smaller until it reaches its minimum size.
