Nexon continues to deliver exciting updates for *Blue Archive* with the latest patch hitting all the right notes. The Serenade Promenade event is now live, introducing two new idol-themed students and a captivating story arc, alongside major news for PC enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the game's release on Steam.
Stepping into the spotlight are Mari (Pop Idol) and Sakurako (Pop Idol), the stars of the latest recruitment event. Mari brings a unique healing support role, converting excess healing into bonus HP while stacking up Fan Service for a stylish touch. On the other hand, Sakurako enhances Crit and Crit Dmg for herself and Special Students, making her a valuable asset for teams aiming for rapid, high-damage outputs. Both idols are available for recruitment only until April 28th, so make sure to grab them before they're gone.
The Serenade Promenade story event, which kicked off on April 15th, invites players to immerse themselves in a blend of idol aspirations and school-life drama after completing Mission 2-3 (Normal). This event mirrors the classic *Blue Archive* storytelling style and will conclude on April 28th.
Adding to the excitement, Nexon confirmed during their recent livestream that *Blue Archive* is set to launch on Steam, allowing PC players to sync their progress and enjoy seamless cross-platform play. Enhancements to English localization have also been announced, promising a better gaming experience for English-speaking audiences.
