Following its origins as a smart device game for iOS and Android platforms in 2017, Manjuu and Yongshi’s 2D side-scrolling shooter game Azur Lane has been adapted into a 3D Action Shooter for PlayStation 4 and PC platforms by Compile Heart and FELISTELLA. While already available in Japan for some time now, Azur Lane: Crosswave is due to launch in western markets next month.

Ahead of publishing one of their first new releases for the year, Idea Factory International (IFI) have begun sharing character profiles of the ships who will be appearing in-game – either as playable characters or as secretary ship / battle support units. And yes, like the mobile game there are a lot of them. IFI have today shared the profiles for six more playable and support characters. These include Portland and Vestal from the Eagle Union, Prinz Eugen from Iron Blood and Hood, Belfast and Victorious from the Royal Navy.

You can read all of these profiles with accompanying screenshots below:


Belfast

Playable Character

Belfast is as intelligent as she is a perfectionist. As housekeeper of the Royal Navy’s maids, she is known to many. She knows exactly how to approach others; she treats her superiors with dignity, she treats her friends openly, and she treats her enemies with respect. The skills she exhibits in battle come from a wide study of various subjects which have taught her how to do her very best in battle. Her daily life is meant to serve the Royal Navy with the grace it deserves. It seems as if she’s in charge of security at the Joint Military Exercise, but…


Hood

Playable Character

A graceful noble who holds a very high rank among those in Royal Navy. Not only is she refined, but she is also skilled both with the pen and sword, and is the admiration of all who seek to become a Royal Lady. She is one of the very few who can voice her opinion to Queen Elizabeth, and acts in full support of her administration. She is partaking in the Joint Military Exercise as a representative of Queen Elizabeth. Despite being someone of a lofty position, she is quite approachable and charming. The question is who she will show her charming side to during the event…


Portland

Playable Character

An Eagle Union member who brags about her younger sister. The love she displays can be too much, which makes others uncomfortable. She began to feel depressed when she was selected to join the Joint Military Exercise before her younger sister, but her positive nature allowed her to quickly brush away the creeping sadness. As she prepares for the event, one can find in her mouth the latest copy of a “special” kind of magazine dedicated to her dear younger sister…


Prinz Eugen

Playable Character

An Iron Blood elite who knows her way around the advanced technology that her nation has researched. Her aura is seen as mature and alluring. Outside of missions, she is very free willed, making it hard to predict what she may be thinking in any moment. As soon as she engages in battle, however, she annihilates without mercy. It’s hard to know why she thinks the way she does. Her older sister, Admiral Hipper, is always on her case. She joins the Joint Military Exercise to oversee Z23 and to ensure that their place in the world will not be marred by whatever is to come.


Vestal

Support Character

Eagle Union’s ace and Enterprise’s friend. She’s very gentle, calm, and very capable as a repair ship. She has supported the Eagle Union and their members, including Enterprise, in times of need. She was summoned by Enterprise to participate in the Joint Military Exercise as support and to help oversee the event.


Victorious

Support Character

The second-in-command, Illustrious-class aircraft carrier. She loves all things beautiful and, above all, achieving victory. Unlike her older sister, Illustrious, she is quite bold and daring (with a touch of narcissism). She seriously believes that brute force is the fastest solution to everything, which causes a bit of a stir, even among her friends. She sees Illustrious as a rival who got in to the Joint Military Exercise ahead of her, and decided to join as support instead.
