A “advance naval RPG,” Azur Lane: Crosswave features numerous conversation events and water-based battles. Meeting certain requirements on the field activates battle, which plays out like a shooting game with full 360-degree movement.

The video also highlights the following features:

A completely original story

Numerous sub-stories activated by meeting certain requirements

Fully-voiced story and sub-stories

Many new background music tracks

Freely take pictures in “Photo Mode”

The website update confirms two new playable characters, one enemy AI-only character, and two support-only characters:

Playable Cleveland (voiced by Saya Horigome)

Portland (voiced by Kaori Yoshioka) Enemy AI-Only Purifier (voiced by Marika Kouno) Secretary Ship / Combat Support Role Admiral Hipper (voiced by Yuri Yamaoka)

Indianapolis (voiced by Aya Yokota)

Additionally, the character page for the previously-confirmed playable Z23 was updated with a screenshot of her in-game appearance.
