Earlier WG held voting for a theme of a new map coming to World of Warships. Big thank-you to all who participated in the decision! New map's biome has been selected to be Torres Strait at dusk and it has been in development ever since. WG already had internal tests of the map's layout and starting now a next round of testing with of our volunteers to polish specific details and identify possible bugs.
Preliminary, the map will be tailored for mid- to high-tier battles. Such areas as the relatively isolated A capture point, a channel between A and B points, and a widely open C point facilitate a diversity of playstyles for an interesting mix of long and close range combat.
That said, the visuals of the map are still in development. However, WG can share that the map is based on a distant location between Australia and New Guinea which was a hunting ground for Japanese submarines and a route for the Australian Navy to Port Moresby. It's also home to the historic Green Hill Fort, originally built in the 19th century and later repurposed during World War II.
We are aiming to deliver the new map by the end of the year and will announce the exact date later. Therefore, stay tuned for more updates — you will soon have a chance to vote for the map's official name once WG are ready to present its final look.
So get ready to chart a new course on your maps!
