Story Mode
In Azur Lane: Crosswave, you can play through a Story Mode that consists of a Prologue + 7 chapters of fully voiced story plus battles. Collecting allies and new equipment will be important, doubly so if you’re playing on hard mode.
For multiple playthroughs, you’ll be able to re-challenge stages you’ve already beaten for no cost at all. You can use this to grind EXP and A-Points if needed. You’ll also be able to skip previously viewed dialogue.
Sub Events
Sub Events can occur around the island, and involve characters apart from main characters Shimakaze and Suruga. You’ll be able to find out some stories that take place behind various shipgirls behind the scenes during the Joint Military Exercise.
(Event types are distinguished by color.)
Recruiting others with A-Points
A-Points are points that are earned by winning battles. You can choose to instantly recruit whoever is available, or gun for your favorites. Every shipgirl will be recruitable using A-Points except for Neptune.
The Secretary Ships, no matter if they are playable or support-only, are fully voiced, and will assist players in battle with skills.
Shops
Two familiar faces run the shops in Azur Lane: Crosswave, running the Branch Store and Laboratory respectively. You’ll be able to buy equipment with funds, as well as construct things based on blueprints, exchange rewards, and more.
Dock
You can check on the status of every shipgirl in your fleet.
Stock
You can check out the entire list of items and check your collection percentage, as well as how many you own.
Gallery & System
You can review previously viewed events and your records in Gallery, and change control settings and camera settings and more under System.
Extreme Battle Mode
In Extreme Battle Mode, there are more than 100 stages available, with some unlocking after fulfilling certain conditions. It’s a mode for those wishing to challenge themselves with battles.
The fleet names give clues on the mass-produced ships the enemy bosses will bring along as well as their elemental types, so prepare accordingly.
Photo Mode
Additional screenshots of Photo Mode were released, as well as a tease of a certain character also appearing in Photo Mode:
Episode Mode
More than 150 smaller Sub-stories exist in Episode Mode, with the only pre-requisite being that all the involved characters have joined your fleet. The sub-stories range from everyday scenarios to those related to the Joint Military Exercise in Story Mode.
A Certain Other Mode
A certain other mode from the main Azur Lane is also present in Azur Lane: Crosswave, boasting new voicework and overall production.

Azur Lane: Crosswave releases for PlayStation 4 in Japan on August 29, 2019. It’ll release in North America and Europe in 2020. Check out some off-screen demo gameplay here.
