Until you have heard something from a portal article, news post, or development blog it isn't final. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6,097 [KNMSU] Battlecruiser_Repulse Members 7,086 posts 7,766 battles Report post #11 Posted January 15, 2019 Well, that certainly would be a bizarre use of development dollars. Not to mention that it seems to be a fairly popular ship. I guess I'd wait and see. Something tells me that if it is merely promotional, Witch-a-gate will quickly metastasize, and we'll wind up with it anyway. :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,452 [WOLFC] DocWalker Members 3,089 posts Report post #12 Posted January 15, 2019 I think Promo can be misleading here ... would you believe Atago B is currently listed as a Promo? http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Atago_B There are actually several ships listed as Promo, which we know is not the case. http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Category:Promo_and_gift_ships As @Radar_X advises, be patient until its status is announced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

480 [ADOPT] Spooooooooooooooooooooon Beta Testers 1,258 posts 13,132 battles Report post #20 Posted January 15, 2019 Sounds like it will be offered in some way other than a straight cash purchase in the premium shop.

1,043 [BNKR] RagingxMarmoset Members 1,650 posts 2,806 battles Report post #21 Posted January 15, 2019 It also shows Azuma, Lazo, and Irian for 99,999 credits.
