Wildly Successful Gacha Shooter Transitioning to 3D in the West
2017 Yostar Games release Azur Lane, which became a smash hit in the mobile market, will be seeing its 3D adaptation hit the West. Idea Factory International announced recently that Azur Lane: Crosswave will be arriving in the West on PS4 and Steam in February 2020. Crosswave, which released earlier this year in Japan, is a bottom-up retrofit of the original gacha shooter, now a cel-shaded 3D action shooter built using Unreal Engine.
The game will feature a total of 4 modes:
- Story mode, which basically mirrors the original game
- Extreme Battle mode, which allows for special challenge encounters with ultra-tough and rare fleets
- Photo mode, which allows players to pose characters and choose expressions and backgrounds in order to recreate and capture their favorite scenes
- Episode mode, which includes 50+ sub-stories that expand on the backgrounds of their featured characters
In addition, the Steam page for the game is now available. Idea Factory International's first trailer for the Western release can also be seen below.
