Azur Lane Gets Another Fletcher-class Destroyer & Lovely Skins for Scharnhorst, Hiei, & Deutschland

Yostar isn’t taking any breaks in revealing new content coming soon for its super-popular mobile game Azur Lane.

While the western Twitter account of the game is continuin to confirm more Spring Festival skins previously unveiled for the Japanese server (Azuma and Illustrious), the Japanese one is showcasing brand new ones that are likely to be released worldwide on the next maintenance. 

This time around we get to see skins for Scharnhorst, Hiei, and Deutschland.

Speaking of the Spring Festival, we also get to see a furniture set that will be released for the event.

Last, but not least, we get the reveal of a new shipgirl… and it’s another Fletcher-class destroyer, more precisely Halsey Powell.

I’ve lost count of how many Fletcher-class destroyers we have in the game, but I guess they did build 175 of them during World War II. It’s going to take a long time before Azur Lane’s developers run out of inspiration. 

If you’re unfamiliar with Azur Lane, it’s is a free-to-play mobile horizontal scrolling shooter/RPG hybrid currently available for iOS and Android.

If you’d like to learn more about it, you can read our recent interview with Yostar’s director of operations.

If your interest leans more towards console and PC games, Azur Lane: Crosswave  has already been released for for PS4 in Japan, and it’s coming to the west in February with a PC version on top. You should definitely read the interview we pubished a few days ago, in which Compile Heart President Norihisa Kochiwa talks in depth about the project.
