Today Compile Heart released two new videos of its upcoming action-shooter-JRPG Azur Lane: Crosswave.
The first video is the first animated look at the game’s photo mode, which allows you to set your shipgirls’ position, animation, facial expression, camera angle, and zoom level.
Protagonist of the video is the cute Yamashiro, shown from all angles.
We also get to see several settings, and it certainly appears to be a feature that shipgirl fans will throughly enjoy. It’s unlocked at the end of chapter 1 of the story mode.
The second video is all about the story mode, and we get to see the ending of chapter 1 and the beginning of chapter 2.
It’s a whopping 30 minutes of gameplay in total.
As usual, do keep in mind that spoilers are included, even if they may be considered pretty mild if you don’t understand Japanese.
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 not familiar with the original Azur Lane game, it’s a free-to-play mobile horizontal scrolling shooter/RPG hybrid currently available for iOS and Android.
