The Blue Archive collaboration is back in World of Warships, with a free permanent camouflage DLC announced as available until December 3, 2026. Returning ships and commanders also give players another opportunity to collect content they missed during earlier collaborations. Published on October 8, 2026, The World of Warships Steam post presents the crossover alongside several separate DLC offers. The distinction matters for anyone choosing what to claim: the free camouflage, the returning collaboration content and the discounted ship packs do not share a confirmed end date.
The free Blue Archive DLC contains permanent camouflage that can be mounted on a ship of your choice. For players interested in the crossover's appearance, this is the offer to look for; collecting returning ships and commanders is a separate part of the announcement. December 3 is the advertised deadline for the camouflage DLC, rather than an announced closing date for the whole collaboration. Use the official Steam post linked above to find the offer and check its current listing before claiming it. Read the latest news on JEU.VIDEO
Mikasa's promotion ends October 22
The new Mikasa pack includes the Tier II Japanese premium battleship, two Mosaic camouflages and two Spring Sky camouflages. Its promotion is scheduled to end on October 22, 2026, earlier than the free Blue Archive camouflage offer.
The advertised discount is inconsistent: the announcement's subheading says 40% off, while the accompanying paragraph describes Mikasa as half price. Neither figure can therefore be treated as the confirmed discount. Anyone considering the pack should check the price shown on its store listing rather than calculate a purchase from either percentage. The stated contents and promotion deadline remain separate from that pricing discrepancy.
Ning Hai's free offer has ended
The Pan-Asian premium cruiser Ning Hai DLC pack was advertised at a 100% discount until October 12, 2026. That deadline has passed. Its appearance alongside the Blue Archive announcement should not be read as an ongoing free-ship offer.
The same post advertises four other DLC packs with discounts of up to 80%. The American and Japanese national packs are each listed at 80% off and described as suitable for beginners. These are additional discounted packs, distinct from the free permanent camouflage and the returning Blue Archive ships and commanders.
For the free crossover cosmetic, December 3 is the relevant advertised deadline. Mikasa buyers have an earlier date to consider and a price to check, while the Ning Hai giveaway belongs to the offers that have already ended.
