Nexon has rolled out an exciting new update for Blue Archive, inviting players to dive into a fresh narrative within this popular RPG. The Main Story: Vol. 1 Foreclosure Task Force Chapter 3, “Traces of a Dream” - Part 5 Update, is set to enrich the game with the "Sheside outside" Event Story, special fest and student recruitments, and more, keeping fans engaged through February.

With the latest Blue Archive update, you have the chance to recruit a 3-star student from Fest Recruitment with double the usual odds. Even better, any Recruitment Points you gather before January 29th won't go to waste; they'll be converted into Keystone Pieces, waiting for you in your mailbox.

Starting January 29th, the Student Recruitment Event introduces two special swimsuit versions of characters - Saori (3-star, Swimsuit) and Hiyori (3-star, Swimsuit) - available until February 7th. This is your chance to add a splash of summer to your squad.

Don't miss out on the 100-Free Recruitment Event, where you can earn a total of 100 free recruitments just by logging in from January 29th to February 7th. It's the perfect opportunity to use all those saved-up currencies and possibly complete your dream team with a little help from Lady Luck.
