The Royal Navy decided it would host a new Joint Military Exercise, using the Cubes. Going with the flow of things, Le Malin participated in the exercise as a representative of the Vichya Dominion. That is where she encountered Essex.

The event was a challenge to see how many things could be made using the Cubes.Since it calls for skills outside of battle, Le Malin decided to create. The ocean arena was both surprised and excited.

About Azur Lane: Crosswave

Azur Lane: Crosswave takes the spirit of the mobile game and uses the Unreal Engine to bring its characters to life in a massive 3D world, so fans can see them like they’ve never seen them before. The in-game character designs will also feature cel-shaded anime style 3D graphics that stay true to the original art.
