Event Updates and Rewards
Azur Lane announces a limited-time event that runs through September 30, 2026. This update introduces six new shipgirls and a variety of fresh skins to the game.
During the event period, a Special Login Campaign rewards Commanders for signing into the game. Furthermore, Commanders below Level 80 receive double Commander and ship EXP from sorties. This feature serves as an excellent opportunity for newer players to strengthen their fleets more efficiently.
New Shipgirls and Construction
This update adds a total of six new shipgirls to the roster. As Commanders clear campaign stages, they accumulate PT. Reaching designated PT milestones automatically unlocks the Elite shipgirl, Hostile.
Commanders can also exchange PT for an array of prizes in the shop, headlined by the Ultra Rare shipgirl, Tiger, and the Super Rare shipgirl, Victorious META. For alternative acquisition, Victorious META appears as a stage reward and is also available in the Limited Construction pool. Meanwhile, the Limited Construction banner features a rate-up for the following new shipgirls: Ultra Rare Azuchi, Super Rare I-14, and Elite Hasty.
New Arrivals in the Event Shop
Eight new skins debut in the outfit boutique during the first week. The spotlight shines on the highly anticipated "Spooky Tales" series, which boasts three stunning L2D+ skins: "The Midnight Channel" for Friedrich Carl, "Alleyway Temptress" for Lion, and "Wandering Glow of Midnight" for Illustrious.
Another standout is Azuchi's "Testing Courage in Crimson"—a rare Dual-Form skin that perfectly highlights her charm. By logging in, Commanders receive three rental outfit vouchers, which can be used to try out the new skins for Illustrious, Azuchi, and Friedrich Carl for free.
An array of fan-favorite skins also returns to the shop, offering Commanders another opportunity to grab any outfits they have missed. Standouts of this rerun include the stunning L2D+ "Floral Ninja Roleplay" for Hakuhou, alongside the unique Dual-Form skin, "An Evening's Companionship," for Yorktown II.
