Azur Lane Getting New Skins for New Priority Ships and More

Yostar revealed new content coming to the English servers of its popular shipgirl-focused game Azur Lane. 

With the recent introduction of the second season of priority ships, the developers are now ready to roll out their special skins. 

Today we see two of them, a swimsuit for Georgia and a yukata for Kitakaze.

On top of that, we learn that Jersy and Memphis will be added to the light construction pool. 

As a bonus, here’s something I saw today at the Volks Hobby Square store in Akihabara’s iconic Radio Kaikan. 

Someone at the store definitely appears to have found a good way to sell more warship model kits… by associating them with Azur Lane’s shipgirls. 

The also seem to be keeping the listing dutifully up to date, since I can see Hibiki in there, which was added to the game just a couple of weeks ago. 

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.
