Azur Lane: The Alchemist and the Archipelago of Secrets
Azur Lane (アズールレーン, Azūru Rēn) is a franchise originating from a hit Chinese mobile side-scrolling shoot-em-up game featuring anthropomorphic "shipgirls" set in an alternate World War II timeline. In 2022, the 25th anniversary year of the Atelier series, an Atelier collaboration was announced. Titled The Alchemist and the Archipelago of Secrets, in part because it is specifically with the Atelier Ryza/Secret sub-series, it involves six characters becoming available as limited-edition shipgirls.
Overview
Azur Lane is the fourth game to collaborate with Atelier and include its characters following Trinity Universe, Cross Edge and Artery Gear, which also featured characters from the Atelier Ryza/Secret sub-series in 2022. Atelier is also the twelfth Azur Lane collaboration following ones with Bilibili, NicoNico, Lawson, Armored Trooper Votoms, Hyperdimension Neptunia and Utawarerumono, Dead or Alive, The Idolm@ster and SSSS.Gridman/SSSS.Dynazenon, plus two virtual YouTuber collaborations (Kizuna AI and Hololive Productions), two World Wildlife Fund collaborations and two Atré Akihabara collaborations.
The collaboration was originally announced as only involving Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy. However, a subsequent announcement was then made that a character from Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key would also be included, who was later revealed to be Kala Ideas.
Azur Lane also hosted a collaboration stream guest starring Yuri Noguchi (Ryza) and Haruka Terui (Lila), which included a animated trailer featuring the Atelier Ryza included characters in addition to IJN Shimakaze, HMS Formidable, USS Bristol and RN Alfredo Oriani.
Content included in the collaboration includes Atelier furniture for the in-game dorm, a gathering and synthesis mechanic similar to the Material Loop in Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout for exclusive rewards and a lingerie-themed skin for each of the Atelier Ryza 2 characters.
