Blue Archive[lower-alpha 1] is a 2021 real-time strategy role-playing game developed by MX Studio, under the management umbrella of Nexon Games (formerly NAT Games) and IO Division. The player and protagonist is a Sensei who was summoned from outside the academic city-state of Kivotos by the president of the General Student Council, an extrajudicial committee governing the culturally rich regional school districts. Following her sudden disappearance, criminal activity rises around Kivotos and the player is tasked by the remaining members of the council to resolve issues that crop up and help search for the president.[2]
It was first released in February 2021 for Android and iOS devices in Japan by Yostar and self-published worldwide in November of the same year by Nexon, with a global release on Microsoft Windows in July 2025 via Steam, barring Benelux, Vietnam, and Germany and Yostar-managed regions.[3] The game is free-to-play with gacha game mechanics as a means to obtain new characters and improvise strategies via team building.
Two short-length original net anime productions were released between July and November 2022; a full length anime television series adaptation, announced in 2023 and titled as Blue Archive The Animation was produced by Yostar Pictures and Candy Box, and was broadcast from April to June 2024.
Gameplay
Blue Archive is a tactical role-playing game[4] that allows the player to form and mobilize units of up to six members (two "Specials" and four "Strikers") with which to participate in various military campaigns.[5]
Students' strengths can be enhanced in various ways, such as by increasing their levels, weapons, armor and skills. More students can be recruited through the gacha system using in-game currency, which may be purchased through in-app purchases.
The units are mobilized on a turn-based hex map and battle initiates when they encounter an enemy or vice versa. In combat, Strikers march along a straight path and occasionally do combat with enemy groups. They also fire automatic attacks and can hide behind objects to decrease their chances of getting hit. Specials do not engage in direct combat but increase the Strikers' stats and support them from the backlines instead.
The player has no conventional method of control over battles with the exception of using students' skills that cost the team's regenerable synergy bar to use. Students and enemies both have rock-paper-scissors-based attacks and defenses, which determine their strengths and weaknesses. Students get rescued by a helicopter and cannot participate in later battles if they lose all of their health.
Story
Setting
Blue Archive takes place in the academic city-state of Kivotos, which was established by the union of thousands of academies. The citizens of Kivotos are composed of three races: Humanoids, which include subraces ranging from the common human to resembling angels, demons, elves, bioroids, and kemonomimi retaining lesser features of various animal races such as ears and tails; intelligent werebeast citizens of various races; and highly-advanced robots with human levels of intelligence and individuality. Due to possessing Halos, humanoids are surprisingly strong and durable enough to resist and survive serious injuries like gunshots and explosions, though they can only be killed by destroying their Halo through certain means. As a result of this, every student possesses some kind of firearm and/or ordnance as a means to protect themselves and fight back against other students, with frequent campus shootouts happening quite a lot across Kivotos.
The city is ruled by the General Student Council (GSC), a federal committee led by a President, who governs the city from the Sanctum Tower with access to every student's register. Despite the GSC having the main authority within Kivotos, many of the schools operate and lead their districts with virtually autonomous independence with almost every school district having a rich, long-lasting history to them, with the three most powerful schools being Millennium Science School, Trinity General School, and Gehenna Academy.
Before the events of the game, the GSC President summons the player character, a teacher with the education status of Sensei, to be the advisor of SCHALE, an extrajudicial organization established by the president herself. She then proceeds to disappear, which is followed by a rise in criminal activity and military presence in the city. As Sensei helps the students, clubs, and academies of Kivotos with their various problems, the Sensei must also deal with school rivalries, criminal warfare, corrupt corporations, rogue AIs, paranormal creatures, mysterious groups, and insidious cults that threaten Kivotos, often with the assistance of their highly-advanced smart-tablet known as the "Shittim Chest" and its sentient AI named Arona.
Volumes and storytelling
The main story is divided into several Volumes, which focus on a specific group (and sometimes, one or more of its members) in their respective school, in which each volume is also divided into chapters that tell a relatively complete story on their own. There are currently six main story volumes after the prologue, the first four of which lead up to the story's first climactic volume titled "Volume F" that ties those initial volumes together as the first overarching story arc closes and allows future volumes afterwards to exist and evolve, narratively.
Contrary to many gacha games on the market, the vast majority of Blue Archive's main story is presented as a visual novel first, using over-leveled characters and automated gameplay to contextualize the narrative as opposed to locking off story behind constant level barriers as seen in other gacha games, using Event stories to add extra context to the main story's organic progression, with many released after Volume F completely adopting the visual novel format, sometimes along with an alternative form of interactive fiction (such as a minigame) as a narrative companion to the event. New chapters and episodes of the main volumes are serialized every 3 to 6 months, with both a new and rerun event story almost every month. Events older than 2 years since debut are added permanently to the Event Recap.

Development and production
The game was first introduced by Nexon Games (formerly NAT Games)[8] and Yostar by its initial name, Project MX. The announcement, alongside the first promotion video and arts was released in February 2020.[9][10] Yostar announced the mobile game and held closed beta tests for the Android version in July 2020, where it is now known by its current name as Blue Archive.[11] Initially scheduled to be released in 2020, it was later moved to February 4, 2021.[12][13][14][15]
A worldwide version of the game was announced in August 2021,[16][17] surpassing one million pre-registrations ahead of its release.[2] The version, which includes English as well as Korean, Traditional Chinese and Thai language support was released on November 8 of the same year by Nexon.[18][3]
On November 11, 2022, Nexon updated the ratings of the worldwide version of the game to "Mature" from the original "Teen" rating, while released a separate "Teen"-rated version of the game exclusively in Korea, particularly due to its rating issues in Korea. The "Teen" rating version has some content changes compared to the original release only relating to Live2Ds of Ako and .[19]
A Simplified Chinese version of the game for China release has been revealed in works in March 2023, as the Chinese authority released a statement regarding passing of the games to be played in the country. The game website later went live alongside the first preview on March 31, 2023, with pre-registrations are open on the same day. A closed beta test is done between June and July 2023, and on August 3, 2023, the game finally went live in China as an open beta.[20][21][22][23] The Chinese version is published by Yostar and includes Chinese voice dub for the characters, including the main stories.[24][25] Yostar later ported this game to HarmonyOS NEXT in November 2024, which mobile operating system from Huawei and first revealed at Huawei Devices's Official Bilibili account page, and it was available in Mainland China.[26]
In October 2023, Nexon announced that the Global version would be available in the Galaxy Store for Samsung phones. This version was released on October 31.[27]
According to an interview in Taiwan in December 2023, PD Kim Yong Ha explains that they have planned ahead for two years and is expecting a 15-years minimum of development with their approach. He also said that for the time being, they are focusing on remediating crash issues that commonly happened in the game, with reason being their 3D model has becoming more complex as the time goes. He also said that there is no plan for any PC version of the game for now.[28]
The lineup change of the development team happened in 2024 which saw Byeong-lim Park, once the co-director for the Japanese version of the game left the team to handle a new project alongside two other founding members, Cha Min-seo and Im Jong-gyu. Positions such as main scenario writer and art director changed hands from Isakusan and Hwangsang to Oh Hyun-seok and 9ml respectively. Kim Yong Ha returns to head director position of the game after being in a "supervising role" for a while. While he admits that the sudden announcement of staff changes may concern the players, Yong Ha in an interview assured that the changes will not affect the game in any drastic way.[29]
Nexon reported the game has announced Korean original voices were added to Blue Archive Global version starting on July 23, 2024, on its 3rd anniversary for global.[30] The following year, Nexon announced full Korean voice over for every scene in the main story starting from summer 2025, with Volume 1 updates being released on July 8 of that year and more planned afterwards.

The official soundtracks in sets of albums titled Blue Archive Original Soundtrack, with first volume released on March 24, 2022. The latest volume, Vol. 5, was released on January 21, 2024.
Cultural impact and reception
Popularity
While originally criticized due to lack of content and various in-game bugs that hampered the initial experience, the game has marked spikes in popularity later on with their improvements, with it now enjoying a huge successful fanbase especially in the Asia–Pacific region (such as Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea).
The game has been a recent big hit at Comiket, with the data for its C102 event in Summer 2023 showing the game had the highest number of circles participating in the general net social games section, with 894 circles selling doujinshi products for the game alone.[74] This is a spike of increase from 446 circles for their Winter 2022 event (C101).[75] Due to its reception, the game moves from the general net social games section to their own section in the Winter 2023 Comiket (C103) onwards, with genre code 336.[76] The numbers twinfolds to 1718 circles in C103 and expands to 1922 circles in C104. It was reported that some prominent staff like chief developer PD Kim Yong Ha and sound composer Mitsukiyo also visited the booths in the events and met the artists as a form of support. Based on a December 16, 2023 survey conducted by Nikkei Entertainment, the fanbase of Blue Archive within Japan has an average age of 24 years, and a male-to-female ratio that skews 80:20.[77]
The game also has attracted some well-known manga artists and animators to become fans and also produce fan art for the game. One of the most notable is Aki Hamazi, the author of Bocchi the Rock!, who participates in the C101 event with her own circle producing Blue Archive doujinshi. As her own work recently became much more popular, with the anime adaptation finished airing a week before the event, her activity attracted a lot of fans to line up at her booth. This prompted the organiser to move her booth outside the hall to avoid congestion and her booth quickly sold out just noon of the first day of the event.[78] She continued her involvement in the next Comiket with Blue Archive doujinshi and has also contributed to some official promotional art of the game.
The game also has generally received a positive reception, particularly among fans of the gacha and anime RPG genres. Its recent launch on Steam has further broadened its audience, since the global launch of Cygames' Software:Umamusume: Pretty Derby and a double sponsorships of New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show, and Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse.[79] However, Nexon terminated an in-game event that incentivized players to leave reviews on Steam, as it was discovered to potentially conflict with Steamworks documentation against artificially manipulating the review system. While the event was stopped and rewards were not distributed, the game's positive rating has largely remained.[80][81]
Awards
According to Dengeki Online's Kawachi commented that "both the allies and the enemies are fascinating."[82] Dengeki Online's Jismarock praised the "Eden Treaty Arc" scenario as being aggressive, even if it only clarified the concept of "death," which had been unclear in previous scenarios.[83] Blue Archive won the Best Developer Award, Character Award, and Popularity Award at the 2022 Korea Game Awards.[84][85]
Blue Archive has won an award from market research firm Sensor Tower for best storytelling, beating out other contemporary competitions such as Fate/Grand Order and Software:Honkai: Star Rail.[86]
Revenue
Their total revenue until October 2023 has reached over $400 million for all their versions. The Japanese version of the game contributed 75% of it.[87] In August 2023, the game recorded $19 million for the Japanese version, and $4 million for their global version, the total revenue was $24 million.[88]
According to Nexon, Blue Archive has been considered one of their most-grossing games in their quarterly financial report, with remarkably being one of the dominant contributors of revenue in Japan in their Q2 Financial Report 2023.
Controversies
The global version received censorship in some of their scenes in comparison of their Japanese version. In response to this, chief developer PD Kim Yong Ha stated that they needed to abide by "external requests" to be able to market their game in other regions, apologizing to the players for not keeping his promises.[89] Censorship efforts at the time have since been reversed with the introduction of two separately rated versions, a "Teen" version exclusive to Korea and the Global version with Multi-language support and no cut content.
In October 2022, the South Korea rating board, Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC), increased the age rating of Blue Archive from 15+ to 18+.[90][91] GRAC was later audited by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and was found to be guilty in June 2023 for embezzlement worth of KR₩700 million (US$500,000) in taxpayer money. A few presses claimed this is an indirect result of Blue Archive players launching a petition calling for the rating board's investigation prior, which allegedly instigated Lee Sang-Heon of the Democratic Party of Korea to demand Korean National Audit to inspect the board independently.[92][93][94]
