Niord

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Niord — Pan‑European • Premium • Tier VIII • Battleship.

A fast battleship with a similar layout to World War I-era German battlecruiser designs. Had history taken a different course, she might have been laid down in Germany by 1918, bought by Sweden in the 1920s, and gradually completed by the end of the 1930s. The battleship's artillery armament is supplemented by four quintuple-tube torpedo launchers.

Niord was released as one of the final rewards of the Party Around the World campaign, which took place from August 4th to September 8th, 2025.
