World of Warships have officially announced a partnership with the famous pop-culture icon, Popeye the Sailor Man to recognize World Ocean Month. World Ocean Month takes place every year in June to celebrate our ocean and has become a platform to raise awareness of the work needed to maintain the Earth’s greatest ecosystem. This collaboration will take place in tandem with a charity partnership which will be announced ahead of the content being available to purchase.

The Popeye Charity Bundle will include an in-game commander Popeye and Bluto, which also includes voiceovers, two flags, and a unique camouflage for the Tier VII USS Colorado.

Popeye, who is known as the iconic spinach-eating sailor and clean ocean advocate, is owned by King Features Syndicate, who is a home to some of the world’s most popular entertainment characters. A longtime advocate for ocean Conservation, Popeye announced his representation of The SeaCleaners in 2020. The SeaCleaners is an organization that focuses on long-term and worldwide preservation of the ocean. Popeye joined in the fight against plastic pollution and to raise awareness of its conservation efforts. This special partnership with Wargaming continues to highlight Popeye’s commitment to sustainability and ocean conservation.
