Today Azur Lane developer Yostar announced two new retrofits coming to the popular shipgirl mobile game.
While no release dates were announced, the Ironblood faction is getting two facelifts for the light cruiser Leipzig and the destroyer Z1.
If you’re not familiar with retrofits (or “Kai” versions, as they’re called in Japanese), they allow players to power up their ships in various way until they are completely retrofitted into a new appearance.
You can see what the retrofits look like in the two tweets below.

While the retrofits have been announced only for the Japanese version so far, the gap with the western version is usually minimal, so we should see them coming soon enough.
Azur Lane is a free-to-play mobile horizontal scrolling shooter/RPG hybrid currently available for iOS and Android. A PS4 action JRPG titled Azur Lane: Crosswave by Compile Heart will launch on the Japanese shelves on August 29. A western release has recently been announced for 2020.
Recently, we reported on a lovely crossover event held in collaboration with World of Warships in Yokosuka, Japan.
