Yostar, Manjuu, and Yongshi will add RN Impero to Azur Lane through a new limited event scheduled in late March 2022. She will appear as a converted aircraft carrier despite coming from the same class as the battleships Vittorio Veneto and Littorio. Like her sisters, Impero will belong to the Italy-inspired faction Sardegna Empire. Commanders will be able to find the Super Rare-graded shipgirl in the event's limited construction pool.
In history, the Regia Marina originally constructed Impero as the fourth ship in the Vittorio Veneto/Littorio class of battleships. However, the construction was never completed as Italy eventually surrendered to the Allies in 1943. In the 2010s, scholars determined the Regia Marina had plans to convert Impero into an aircraft carrier. This discovery served as a basis for Manjuu and Yongshi to add Impero as a fully converted carrier in Azur Lane.
On March 12, 2022, the Japanese Azur Lane Twitter account published a teaser that a new event would appear in late March 2022. However, Yostar has not scheduled a new live stream to publish complete details about the new event, unlike with the previous "Abyssal Refrain." The company had also sporadically posted tweets that revealed new shipgirls as an alternative method, as seen in the 2022 Lunar New Year additions.
Azur Lane is available worldwide on Android and iOS mobile devices.
