Azur Lane: Crosswave Will Get a 2020 Western Release on PS4
Idea Factory International has announced that they will be bringing Azur Lane: Crosswave to North America and Europe in 2020 as a PS4 exclusive. The game was developed by Felistella and released in 2017 in China as a mobile title, but wasn't considered for console until this year when the Japanese version will be released on August 29th. The western port will basically be that version with Japanese voiceovers and a few different languages for subtitles. Here's a little more info on the game as we wait for them to give us a western release date, probably at Tokyo Game Show 2019.
Azur Lane: Crosswave takes the spirit of the mobile game and uses the Unreal Engine to bring its characters to life in a massive 3D world, so fans can see them like they've never seen them before. The in-game character designs will also feature cel-shaded anime style 3D graphics that stay true to the original art.
