Today Compile Heart and Yostar showcased another extensive batch of gameplay of the upcoming Azur Lane console game Azur Lane: Crosswave.
As in the gameplay showcased yesterday, we get to see quite a lot of the story campaign, but this time there is no battle. Looks like there will be a whole lot of dialogue following the adventures of the newcomer shopgirls Suruga and Shimakaze.
We also see more popular Sakura Empire shipgirls including Nagato, Kongou, Yamashiro, and Akagi. It’ll be certainly interesting to see if Suruga and Shimakaze will be added to the mobile game as well, as it seems that both have what it takes to become fan-favorites.
The interaction between Suruga and Kongou is especially adorable, considering how different and contrasting their attitudes and manner of speech are.
You can check the video below, keeping in mind that it’s marked “spoilers.” Of course, if you can’t speak Japanese that’s pretty much out of the window.
Azur Lane: Crosswave will launch on the Japanese shelves on August 29, 2019, for PS4. A western release has recently been announced for 2020.
If you’re unfamiliar with the original Azur Lane game, it’s a free-to-play mobile horizontal scrolling shooter/RPG hybrid currently available for iOS and Android.
If you’re interested in the franchise as a whole, you can also check out our report of the event Yostar organized in Yokosuka, Japan.
