Yostar has officially announced a brand-new collaboration between its popular mobile naval shooter Azur Lane and the hit anime Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V (also known as DanMachi V). The special event will launch after maintenance on October 9, marking the next big crossover for the long-running ship-girl game.
Hestia and Ryu Lion Join the Fleet
The collaboration celebrates the ongoing fifth season of DanMachi, which continues Bell Cranel’s adventures through Orario’s perilous dungeons. This time, the crossover will feature two beloved heroines from the series — Hestia, the ever-energetic goddess, and Ryu Lion, the calm and powerful elven adventurer.
Players can expect both characters to make their debut as unique shipgirls within Azur Lane, each with designs and voice lines inspired by their original anime counterparts. Their arrival will likely come with a limited-time event banner, allowing players to recruit them to their fleets during the collaboration period.
An Event Full of Themed Rewards
In classic Azur Lane fashion, the DanMachi V collaboration will come with an exclusive event story that brings the two worlds together. Players can look forward to limited missions, themed furniture sets, and new equipment items styled after the DanMachi universe.
It’s also expected that Hestia and Ryu Lion will receive special skins or alternate outfits, a tradition in Yostar’s crossover events that adds extra personality and flair to each new addition. These skins may include original animations, dialogue, and visual effects that reference iconic scenes from the anime.
Another High-Profile Crossover for Azur Lane
This event continues Azur Lane’s long streak of successful collaborations with other franchises. The game has previously partnered with major titles such as Neptunia, Atelier Ryza, Gridman, and Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation, each time bringing unique stories and beautifully designed characters into its naval-themed world.
With DanMachi V currently airing, the timing couldn’t be better. The collaboration not only celebrates the anime’s new season but also gives fans a fresh way to experience the series’ characters in an entirely different setting.
Set Sail on October 9
The Azur Lane × DanMachi V collaboration event officially begins after maintenance on October 9. Fans eager to welcome Hestia and Ryu Lion aboard should mark their calendars and prepare their resources for what promises to be another must-play crossover in Azur Lane’s ever-growing lineup.
