The March 2022 Azur Lane event will include a new destroyer shipgirl named RN Pompeo Magno. The Japanese introduction tweet described the character as a shipgirl who often takes on impossible tasks due to her strong sense of responsibility. When she fails the tasks, her mood will drop to rock bottom. Commanders will be able to recruit her by collecting points from clearing event stages.
In history, the Regia Marina originally built Pompeo Magno as a Capitani Romani-class cruiser from 1939 to 1943. After the decommission in 1948, the Italian Navy rebuilt her into a destroyer named San Giorgio in 1955. The Azur Lane personification of this ship will combine the World War II-era name Pompeo Magno with her newer post-war destroyer classification.
The new Azur Lane event will primarily add shipgirls to the Italy-inspired faction Sardegna Empire. When Yostar tweeted a teaser on March 12, 2022, it listed Tower and Lighthouse as keywords for the event. It also teased a new sister to Vittorio Veneto, the faction’s flagship known for her radiant authority. The company had since then revealed RN Impero, a sister to Vittorio Veneto, who will appear as a converted aircraft carrier.
Azur Lane is available on Android and iOS mobile devices. A new event featuring Sardegna Empire shipgirls will appear in late March 2022.
