In the mobile game for iOS and Android devices, players collect early 20th century warships from various countries and use fleets of six ships to battle enemies. The game originally released in China in May 2017. Shanghai
Yostar later released the game in Japan in September 2017.
Yostar released an English version of the game on May 20th of this year.
Yostar has described the game as:
Azur Lane features an interactive combat system that combines the best of strategy and 2D shooter games. Players must command a flotilla, divided into two parts: the Vanguard Fleet and the Main Fleet. While the Vanguard is responsible for striking and clearing operations, the Main Fleet must focus on fire support and dealing damage to enemy ships. Strategy is key, and players must build their fleets carefully to succeed on the high seas. Players can strengthen their fleets from the base via the Academy and Dorms, where they can earn experience points, buy items from the shop, or improve their skills in the Classroom.
