The web game "Kantai Collection -KanColle-" (艦隊これくしょん -艦これ-), which features warships from various countries during World War II (primarily the Imperial Japanese Navy) and whose characters are affectionately known as "Ship Girls" by players, continues to boast a strong player base. Its multimedia spin-offs also remain incredibly popular.
C2 Kikan and SEGA have announced that the arcade game "Kantai Collection Arcade" will celebrate its 10th anniversary on April 26, 2026! To mark this epic milestone, they're rolling out the first wave of commemorative projects: "Admiral Proof" metal cards, available for a limited-time pre-order.
These "Admiral Proof" cards are a seriously cool way to immortalize your in-game achievements! Each player's (Admiral's) game record will be laser-engraved onto a metal card, making every single one a unique, customized collectible. Plus, they come with a special 10th-anniversary limited edition storage box.
So, what awesome stats will be etched onto your card? The card content will be based on data from April 26, 2026, at 0:00 AM JST, and will include:
・Admiral Name
・Admiral Level (Fleet Command Level)
・Number of "Kou" Medals held
・Assignment Date (the day you started playing)
・Number of Abyssal Fleet units defeated
・Times ranked in the Monthly Battle Results Leaderboard
You can even choose whether or not to engrave your "Times ranked in the Monthly Battle Results Leaderboard" (ON/OFF), and the card layout will change based on your selection. One important note: even if you're a veteran who started playing during the test period, your Assignment Date will uniformly display April 26, 2016, the official start date of service.
Of course, the devs previously mentioned that they're facing production difficulties for the Ship Girl cards, as raw material supply ceased in October 2025. However, they've assured fans they'll keep finding ways to operate even under these challenging circumstances, with more 10th-anniversary events planned for the future.
