Sometimes the ocean does not reveal its secrets — it merely leaves a clue. A fragment of an ancient fossil leads a group of scientists to an uncharted area of the sea where, according to legend, the entrance to a long-forgotten underwater civilization complex lies hidden. Backed by a wealthy investor, the researchers set out on a dangerous expedition and discover ruins with flowing lines, mysterious patterns, and mechanisms built with technologies long lost — or perhaps never known to humanity.

Join the “Ancient Continents” expedition and take part in naval battles in “Tandem Wars” mode.

Event Rewards

The main Event Pass reward is the AFT-10 — an automatic launcher that fires guided rockets against surface targets. Its low-flying missiles strike along the waterline and bypass heat decoys, enhancing the ship’s offensive capabilities.

All players who fully complete the Event Pass can obtain this reward.

As you progress through the event, you can obtain the “New Command” and “System Image” decals, the “Neptara’s Mark” flag, the “Anna Witmore” avatar, and the “Expedition Member” title.

“Hidden Dragon” Bundle

This bundle brings CN Project 055G to the game — a multirole modification of the Type 055 destroyer focused on powerful missile strikes and enhanced defense. The ship’s arsenal includes five missiles in 3+2 slots, a pair of grenade launchers and autocannons, and a helicopter. Unique weapons include the RG-055G (130 mm) multirole electromagnetic cannon, based on a redesigned HPJ45B turret and highly effective against aircraft. To protect against underwater threats, the ship is fitted with the unique Type 726-4A-24G autocannon, which automatically engages enemy torpedoes at close range. The modification also places major emphasis on expanded air defense. Its systems include LY-1G, a more powerful version of a high-precision laser air defense system, and HQ-10A — a short-range surface-to-air missile system developed to protect surface ships from massive missile attacks. These are complemented by the powerful vertically launched HHQ-9CG air defense missile system and HQ-19 BMD, designed specifically to counter modern SLBM threats. Following these upgrades, the ship is not only dangerous in a direct confrontation but also offers enhanced defensive capabilities, which are especially important in modern naval battles involving aircraft.

“Lost Relics” Bundle

This bundle contains unique customization items: the “Ancient Barrier” camouflage and the “Gatekeeper’s Key” flag.

Classified Cargo

Unlock Classified Cargo to obtain valuable items and equipment:

• SY-400 — a high-trajectory launcher capable of effectively engaging ships and submarines. It fires a salvo of high-speed guided missiles of varying sizes, deals area damage, and easily overwhelms enemy air defense systems.
• Pukguksong-4 — a two-stage submarine-launched ballistic missile from North Korea. Its design reduces fire preparation time and increases flight speed at the cost of reduced range and affected area.
• USS Iowa (BB-61) — a legendary US Navy battleship with improved performance and maneuverability, expanded air defense systems, and additional launchers for both offensive use and protection against torpedoes.
• ET40 (533 mm) — a Chinese electric torpedo with a three-shot launcher. Manual control of each shot allows it to bypass enemy underwater decoys with the right timing.
• Drone Batteries, Tokens, Upgrade Points, and Advanced Consumables.

The activity’s main reward is CN SSA. This high-speed semi-submersible trimaran combines features of a submarine, a trimaran, and a warship. Multiple free missile slots enable massive long-range strikes, while the unique YJ-20 TBM SSA hypersonic tactical ballistic missiles are designed to engage large surface targets behind obstacles. Automatic SSA ATT systems protect it from enemy torpedoes, while the powerful HQ-16C SSA close-in air defense system protects the ship on the surface while it replenishes oxygen.

Armament:

1. Missile Battery YJ-18B [x4]
2. Missile Battery YJ-18B [x2]

• DF-12 — a Chinese nuclear single-stage, solid-fueled ballistic missile with extended range.
• MKE 76 (76 mm) — a Turkish naval artillery system developed based on the OTO Melara. It can continuously engage surface and aerial targets for extended periods until it overheats.
• “Recycle Area” decal, Tokens, Authorization Keys, Gold, Advanced Consumables, and Drone Batteries.
