Nexon has rolled out an exciting new update for Blue Archive, inviting players to dive into a captivating new narrative within the RPG. The Main Story: Vol. 1 Foreclosure Task Force Chapter 3, titled "Traces of a Dream" - Part 5, brings with it special fest and student recruitments, as well as the "Sheside outside" Event Story. With so much on offer, players have plenty to look forward to through February.

In this latest update, Blue Archive is doubling your chances to snag a 3-star student from Fest Recruitment. Plus, any Recruitment Points you gather can be used post-January 29th as Keystone Pieces, which you'll find waiting for you in your mailbox.

Mark your calendars for January 29th, as that's when the Student Recruitment Event begins, running until February 7th. During this period, you'll have the chance to recruit two special swimsuit versions of characters: Saori (3-star, Swimsuit) and Hiyori (3-star, Swimsuit).

And here's a treat: log in between January 29th and February 7th to participate in the 100-Free Recruitment Event. That's right, you can earn up to 100 free recruitments just by logging in. It's the perfect time to use all those currencies you've been saving to build your dream squad, especially with these gacha boosts boosting your luck.
