This update marks the second collaboration between the combat PC game and the VTuber agency. They first collaborated in July 2020, featuring two other famous VTubers—Fubuki Shirakami and Marine Houshou—as new Commanders who specialized in the in-game Japanese cruiser, Hashidate. The two VTubers have over 2 million subscribers each on their YouTube channels as of 2023.
This isn't the only anime-related collaboration World of Warships has done. In the past, they have collaborated with the likes of High School Fleet and Azur Lane. Likewise, Hololive has collaborated with other multiplayer games, including Among Us, CounterSide, and Valkyrie Connect. This year alone, they have collaborated with two other popular games, BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! and Asphalt 9: Legends.
