Wargaming has revealed that it will add even more Azur Lane crossover content to World of Warships. This will be the seventh time the company has added crossover content from the closely related game. It has regularly made crossovers almost every year, starting from 2018, with the preceding sixth wave having appeared in 2024.

The new Wave 7 will add the following shipgirls as commanders, whom players can assign to any playable ship:

1. KMS Hindenburg
2. USS Kearsarge
3. RN Gorizia
4. KMS iral Graf Spee
5. KMS Scharnhorst

In addition, Wargaming will add new ships based on the Azur Lane versions of KMS Hindenburg, USS Kearsarge, and RN Gorizia—as well as KMS Bismarck, whose character had appeared earlier in Wave 4.

As a side note, Hindenburg and Kearsarge are getting double-imported back to World of Warships. Manjuu and Yongshi had previously created Azur Lane shipgirl versions of the original ships Wargaming created for World of Warships. The first character to be double-imported was HMS Neptune in Wave 2.

Wargaming has also published a trailer showing the new content on YouTube:

In the same press release, Wargaming also revealed the new Azur Lane content coming to the console and mobile releases of World of Warships: Legends. People who play the latter version will be able to get unique ships based on the Azur Lane versions of BB-45 USS Colorado, RN Zara, KMS Scharnhorst, and KMS iral Graf Spee.

The original World of Warships is available for PC. World of Warships: Legends is available separately on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, iOS, and Android.

The World of Warships x Blue Archive collaboration arrived in the PC version of the game, and to celebrate Wargaming released a new trailer showcasing the available characters and items. The characters will be available via containers, a progress track, or through bundles that will cycle weekly up until the event eventually ends on September 4, 2024.

As previously revealed, the crossover event will feature five Blue Archive characters, including Izayoi Nonomi, Okusora Ayane, and Takanashi Hoshino. These three characters will be available as special voiced commanders via containers or bundles, alongside three Blue Archive themed ships. Meanwhile, Sunaookami Shiroko and Kuromi Serika will be available from filling out a progression bar, tokens for which can be earned by purchasing bundles or containers for the event.

You can watch the crossover trailer below, which highlights the Blue Archive characters appearing during the event:

The crossover was first announced earlier in August 2024, alongside the start dates for the event. Meanwhile back in May 2024, World of Warships added another wave of content as part of its collaboration with the Azur Lane series.

The World of Warships x Blue Archive crossover event is now available for the PC version of the game, as well as the Legends version on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices. Blue Archive is available for mobile devices.

Wargaming has revealed that it will start adding new crossover content from Blue Archive to World of Warships. The content will appear in both the original PC version and the console-mobile release Legends in August 2024. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

This crossover will feature three exclusive warships and five characters that players can assign as ship captains. The five characters shown are Hoshino, Serika, Ayane, Shiroko, and Nonomi. As a side note, all of these five characters are d with the Abydos High School's Foreclosure Task Force in the original game.

The Blue Archive crossover will mark a new collaboration between Wargaming and Yostar. While Nexon published the global version of Blue Archive, Yostar handles its Japanese and Chinese releases. The companies have been collaborating multiple times to add crossover content between Azur Lane and World of Warships. The new Japanese press release noted that this will be the first Blue Archive crossover wave, so the companies are also teasing more batches coming later on.

The Blue Archive crossover content will appear first in the console and mobile entry World of Warships: Legends, available on the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, iOS, and Android, on August 5, 2024. Wargaming will also add the content to the original PC version ten days later on August 15, 2024.

Wargaming launched the sixth wave of crossover content from Azur Lane in World of Warships. It added five new ship liveries and Commander characters based on shipgirls from the former title.

The ships in question are CV-8 USS Hornet, HMS Queen Elizabeth, KMS Agir, IJN Fusou, and IJN Shimakaze. Hornet, Agir, and Shimakaze have new standalone ships based on the Azur Lane shipgirls. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth and Fusou's liveries appear instead as permanent camouflages for the original ships that have been available in World of Warships.

Wargaming has been adding Azur Lane characters ever since it first launched the collaboration in 2018. The crossover applies to both sides, as Manjuu and Yongshi also gradually added World of Warships' original ships as Priority and Decisive-rarity shipgirls.

The previous crossover waves had added the following shipgirls into World of Warships:

1. First Wave: CV-6 USS Enterprise, CL-55 USS Cleveland, HMS Belfast, HMS Hood, HMS Nelson, KMS iral Hipper, SN Avrora
2. Second Wave: CL-57 USS Montpelier, HMS Neptune, KMS Prinz Eugen, MNF Dunkerque, IJN Azuma, IJN Atago, IJN Kaga, IJN Yukikaze
3. Third Wave: CA-68 USS Baltimore, KMS Roon, MNF Jean Bart, RN Littorio, SN Sovetskaya Rossiya, IJN Shoukaku, ROC Yat Sen
4. Fourth Wave: BB-62 USS New Jersey, HMS Formidable, KMS Bismarck, FFNF Saint Louis, RN Zara, SN Chapayev
5. Fifth Wave: BB-45 USS Colorado, HMS Cheshire, KMS Prinz Heinrich

Azur Lane is not the only title Wargaming has collaborated with in World of Warships. The company has also added content from other franchises like Arpeggio of Blue Steel, Transformers, and Hololive.

The Event for the sixth wave of Azur Lane crossover content in World of Warships is available until June 12, 2024. While the online multiplayer naval battle game is available on multiple platforms, this content specifically appears in the original PC version.

Four Hololive VTubers are coming to World of Warships. Update 12.3 will add Shishiro Botan, Moona Hoshinova, Watson Amelia, and Takanashi Kiara as newly available commanders. This is the second time the strategy game will feature a crossover with Hololive production.

Each of the four VTubers will voice their commanders and players in the midst of battle. As part of this special event, players will also be able to get a special expendable camouflage and a commemorative flag for a limited time.

This is the second time Hololive talents have been featured as available commanders for World of Warships. Back in July 2020, Fubuki Shirakami and Marine Houshou teamed up for a limited-time event bringing a specialization for the Japanese cruiser Hashidate in-game. For this collaboration, each one also had a voice pack designed to suit different situations.

Hololive talents are no strangers to special game collaborations. Some of these VTubers previously appeared in the Among Us Hololive-themed cosmetic pack, provided voice acting for Paladins, and guest starred in the mobile game Valkyrie Connect.

World of Warships is readily available for the PC, iOS devices, Android devices, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. More details about the Hololive collaboration event will be revealed at a later date.

Wargaming.net holds a new collaboration between World of Warships and Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova-, adding more new ships and characters from the anime to the naval team battle game. The Supreme Flagship of the Fleet of Fog, Yamato, newly s the game together with Musashi and Maya. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

The three Mental Models are still voiced by their respective voice actresses from the anime: Yamato by Mai Nakahara, Musashi by Rie Kugimiya, and Maya by MAKO. Two new ships are also added to the roster: the ARP Maya at Tier VIII and the ARP Yamato at the highest Tier X. Musashi comes instead with a permanent camouflage that can be applied to the Tier IX ship of the same name. These new additions can be purchased from the Armory.

The previous Arpeggio of Blue Steel collaboration added ARP ships of Takao, Myoko, Nachi, Ashigara, Haguro, Kongo, Haruna, Kirishima, and Hiei along with their respective Mental Models, can now have another chance to get them. All previous ARP ships are available in the Shop for a limited time. The all-in-one Fleet of Fog bundle also includes the protagonists Gunzo Chihaya and Iona as commanders.

Other than Arpeggio of Blue Steel, World of Warships has added collaboration content from Azur Lane multiple times. In September 2020, the online naval battle game also added characters from the popular Transformers franchise.

World of Warships is available on PCs. Although Wargaming.net also launched World of Warships Blitz on mobile devices and World of Warships Legends on consoles, this new collaboration only pertains to the original PC game.

Sound general quarters, because the newest big wave to hit naval combat game World of Warships is a crossover with none other than the Transformers franchise. Developer Wargaming.net has hooked up with Hasbro to make four well-known Transformers characters playable in-game. Check out a trailer for the crossover below:

The Autobots and Decepticons will each send two characters to represent their faction in World of Warships aboard the decks of specially modified Tier X vessels. The Transformers ship skins feature customized paint jobs based on their characters, and also host specially animated models, as well as special turrets that show the guns being operated by Cybertronians. As for the characters themselves, the usual suspects all make an appearance. Autobot leader Optimus Prime will take his place aboard the deck of a Montana-class battleship, while Decepticon leader Megatron raises his alloyed fist over the crew of a German Großer Kurfürst-class battleship. The two leaders' subordinates also appear with lighter classes of ship. Bumblebee lends his recon and stealth expertise from the environs of an American Gearing-class destroyer, while seismic specialist Rumble gets aboard a Russian Khabarovsk-class destroyer.

World of Warships is hardly a stranger to out-of-left-field content, though. The game has run crossovers with a variety of franchises, including Azur Lane, Arpeggio of Blue Steel, and Warhammer 40,000. For an April Fools' joke, the game put on a space-based theme, allowing players to briefly cosplay as the Space Battleship Yamato. Meanwhile,  its sister game World of Tanks, also ran collaborations with Valkyria Chronicles and Girls und Panzer.

That said, the Transformers brand doesn't immediately come to mind when one thinks of naval combat. Most recognizable Transformers characters have taken on the form of more land-bound vehicles like cars, trucks, and tanks (in fact, the crossover version of Megatron takes the form of a tank, whereas his classic design transforms into a large handgun). Aquatic transformers are relatively few and far between, limited to being alternative modes for existing characters, like the Triple-Changer Broadside, or obscure characters like Seaspray.

Check out more details on the World of Warships X Transformers: Warships in Disguise crossover here. The update is planned to go live for World of Warships on PC in September 2020.
