Azur Lane, after a long period of inactivity, finally welcomes its first major event of 2025, "Divine Light in the Cage," which is themed around the Sardinian faction. So when will the "Divine Light in the Cage" event of Azur Lane start, and what new ships, outfits, and other new content will this event bring? Below, I'll give you a general rundown to help you have a basic understanding.

The event starts at 4:00 PM on February 27, 2025, after maintenance, featuring 5 new ships. Among them are the color rarity battleship "Raffaele," an improved version of the UP41 battleship, considered an upgrade from Marco Polo, also a blueprint ship that was never actually built.

Then there's the SSR submarine Major Baracca, a Marconi-class submarine, also the second golden skin submarine of the Sardinian Empire. There's also a new META ship, "Andrea Doria META," an SSR heavy cruiser. Additionally, there are two SR purple ships: the SR light cruiser Bartolomeo Colleoni and the SR destroyer Giuseppe Carducci.

As for how to obtain these ships, it's the usual way: the color ship can be obtained through limited construction, with a 200 build guarantee. The golden submarine and golden battleship can also be obtained through construction, and the golden battleship can also be salvaged from sea area stages or exchanged for event points. The SR light cruiser is also obtained through construction, while the SR destroyer is a cumulative point reward.

In addition to these new ships, there's also a new color battleship gun, a modified version of the Prototype Triple 406mm Main Gun Model 1940, which, if no surprises, should specialize in medium armor. As for the skins everyone is concerned about, not many are being released this time. Besides the meta ship, the 4 new ships all come with accompanying skins. Additionally, there are new skins for Zijan and Scylla.

This is the introduction regarding when the "Divine Light in the Cage" event of Azur Lane will start. It will begin after maintenance on the 28th, which is Thursday. Although the number of new contents in this major event is not particularly high, besides the new ships, equipment, and skins mentioned above, there are also new sea area maps and a new dormitory plan character, "Anchorage," which many people are looking forward to the most.
