Nexon has released a major update for Blue Archive, introducing a new chapter to the RPG's narrative. The Main Story: Vol. 1 Foreclosure Task Force Chapter 3, "Traces of a Dream" – Part 5 update brings a festive celebration and special student recruitments, alongside the "Sheside Outside" event story. Players have plenty of new content to enjoy from now until February.

This Blue Archive update features a Fest Recruitment banner with double the chance to obtain a 3-star student. Recruitment Points earned before January 29th will not expire; they will be converted into Keystone Pieces and delivered to your in-game mailbox.

Additionally, a special Student Recruitment event begins on January 29th. For a limited time until February 7th, you can recruit two exclusive swimsuit variants: Saori (Swimsuit, 3-star) and Hiyori (Swimsuit, 3-star).

The 100-Free Recruitment Event rewards players with 100 free recruitment attempts just for logging in between January 29th and February 7th. This is the perfect opportunity to use any saved resources. With these boosted rates, luck might just help you assemble your ideal team.
