Azur Lane Getting Oyashio and More Skins for Its Shipgirls

It’s a new week, and Yostar is still revealing new content coming to the western servers of Azur Lane with the next update.

First of all, we’re getting Oyashio, completing the lineup of the upcoming Return of the War God event which will finally bring Mikasa, Hiei, and more.

Considering that we’ve been waiting for it since the opening of the western server, it’s nice to have confirmation that it’s coming with its full content.

Speaking of Mikasa, she’s getting her cute “Style of the Sakura Capital” outfit, with a rather appropriate retro look. 

Two more skins feature Yamashiro and Fubuki. They were originally released in Japan as part of a collaboration with the department store chain Atré, but looks like Yostar is managing to bring them this side of the ocean as well.

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

If you are interested in console games as well, Compile Heart and Felistella just released a brand new Azur Lane game titled Azur Lane: Crosswave for PS4 in Japan. It’s coming in the west next year.

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