Azur Lane is a free-to-play anime-style mobile game that has taken the world by storm. Developed by Yostar and Changyou, Azur Lane puts players in command of various “shipgirls,” which are anthropomorphized warships from WWII transformed into adorable anime girls.
As the Commander, players must form fleets from over 300 collectible shipgirls and guide them through story missions, events, and PvP battles. Each shipgirl features unique arcade-style combat abilities inspired by their real-world armaments and roles in naval warfare.
Beyond the tongue-in-cheek girl x ship fusion premise, Azur Lane offers lush visuals, an engaging rock-paper-scissors style combat system, and a deep collection mechanic that has captured fans worldwide since its 2017 release. Its massive success has also led to merchandising deals, comics, and even a universally praised anime adaptation.
