http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Seasonal/Winter_2017#Asakaze I'm not sure about that though, Hatakaze happened to be sunk during winter (15 January 1945), so that voice line may just be a historical reference.

Instead I have my own reason to believe that Hatakaze won't come, it's simple, there will most likely to be only 3 new ships, and if two of them are Kamaikaze-class the whole event will be seriously worthless.
