Azur Lane joins forces with the enduring light novel franchise Date A Live Seven beloved characters debut as playable shipgirls Plus, the ongoing Black Friday event offers plenty to explore
I've noticed that collaborations in the mobile gaming space typically follow one of two paths. You either get a reaction like 'Wow, they managed to fit this into that?' or, more frequently, 'Wait, what exactly is this?' With Azur Lane's newest partnership featuring Date A Live, it definitely leans toward the latter. This fresh collaboration injects the delightful, over-the-top charm of the long-running series directly into Azur Lane.
Despite its title, Date A Live is primarily an action-packed franchise. Set in a future world ravaged by phenomena known as Spacequakes, the story follows a typical high school student who teams up with a diverse group of girls to battle formidable Spirits invading from another dimension.
This event introduces seven fan-favorite characters and will remain active until December 3rd. Players can tackle limited-time stages filled with rewards, including an exclusive Trust Mission that allows you to recruit the collaboration shipgirl Kurumi Tokisaka completely free of charge.
In your lane
Keep a close watch on the Limited Construction Pool for these new Super Rare shipgirls, along with other methods to acquire them for free via the event shop or as drops from stage completion. Don't forget to consult our Azur Lane tier list to see where some of these fresh additions might rank!
However, if you prefer not to dive into the new collaboration content, there is still plenty more to enjoy. The Black Friday Event continues until December 3rd as well, bringing back all skins released prior to June 1st this year for purchase in the shop.
And if you wish to have your say regarding your favorite titles, now is the perfect time. Voting has officially opened for the 12th annual Pocket Gamer Awards, giving you the chance to help recognize and celebrate the best mobile games!
