Today, during a livestream from Japan, Azur Lane publisher Yostar fully unveiled next week’s major event which was teased yesterday.
The event will be called Kouzen no Hokkai, which translates in “Frozen Sea of the North” and focuses on shipgirls inspired by warships from the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
Of course, the official translation of the title on the English servers (which are also confirmed to get the event next week, starting on February 27) might end up being different from mine.
Several new shipgirls will be available during the event besides the Super Rare destroyer Tashkent and the Elite light cruiser Pamiat Merkuria who were revealed yesterday. The already-released cruiser Avrora will also come back for the event and will be permanently added to the light construction pool.
Those are Elite battleship Gangut, Elite destroyer Minsk, Super Rare light cruiser Chapayev, Elite Destroyer grozny, and Super Rare battleship Sovetskaya Rossiya.
Below you can see the SD sprites of Tashkent and Chapayev in action and the artwork for the event and all the shipgirls, on top of prison-themed skins for almost all of them, and a dorm set.
