World of Warships has unveiled another collaboration event, this time with the classic character of Popeye.
The event will support World Ocean Month in June, and will feature themed commanders Popeye and Bluto in a charity bundle to go on sale to mark the partnership. In addition to the commanders, the bundle will have custom voiceovers, two flags, and a themed cam of the Tier VII USS Colorado.
With Popeye being a famous comic and cartoon sailor, he definitely works for a charity partnership with Wargaming for World of Warships. In fact, Popeye has been used to represent ocean charities for advocacy before.
The Popeye collaboration will work with an as yet unannounced charity partner and will be available for World Ocean Month. According to an announcement for the collaboration, “Taking place every June, World Ocean Month is an annual celebration of our ocean and a platform to raise awareness of the work needed to maintain the Earth’s greatest ecosystem”.
Fans of the classic characters can get ready to mark their ships and to help out conservation efforts when the bundle goes on sale for June.
Wargaming is known for its different collaborations and various charity ventures which see the community contribute to a number of causes across its portfolio. World of Tanks, World of Warships, World of Warplanes and console and mobile entries in the franchise have all seen collaborations with different IPs, and a variety of charity fundraiser bundles.
World of Warships will also be hosting the 2023 Longest Night of Museums on May 18th. This is the third of these events and it will help to promote naval museums and learning through special streams with guests from the Historic Naval ships Association and US Naval Institute.
