Azur Lane’s Alliance Before the Hagiobull event floods port with new Iron Blood firepower

Azur Lane has launched Alliance Before the Hagiobull, and this is not a tiny cosmetic refresh pretending to be an event. The update brings seven new Iron Blood shipgirls, including two Ultra Rare additions, alongside themed skins, Live2D cosmetics, minigames, login bonuses and limited-time rewards. For long-running gacha games, events like this are less about one headline feature and more about keeping the collector machine humming without making the game feel stale.

Azur Lane has always leaned heavily on character design, faction loyalty and skin economy, and this event plays directly into that strength. The content runs until 11 June, giving players a decent window to build, collect and probably convince themselves they were always going to save cubes next time. We all know how that usually ends.
