News & Updates

News from the developers of Fleet Battle and the patch notes of every update.

Fellow seafarers, captains and armchair admirals!

We have kept Fleet Battle up to date for more than 9 years now. 2027 will see the 10-year anniversary of the V2 version of our game. What began as a small upgrade from the 2013 V1 version evolved into the beautiful monster you see today: loads of ships, ship skins, game modes, adornments, leaderboards and more – and no end in sight.

Fleet Battle was meant to be nothing more than a learning experience, but it became a mobile game known worldwide and widely respected. Fate and seadog-like stubbornness, the love of our players and the belief that we can do better made us deliver what you all can enjoy today.

Greetings go out to all our players – you can expect that we will invest the passion and love we feel for our game in the years to come, and we promise to do our best to keep Fleet Battle interesting and fun for all of you.

To all of our players who have been with us for many years: thank you for your support and loyalty, you're the best!

To all of our new players: welcome aboard! May the sea be a gentle mistress to all of you.
