Nexon (CEO Jeong-heon Lee) announced on the 30th that it had implemented the first large-scale update since its launch to the subculture game ‘Blue Archive’ developed by its subsidiary Netgames (CEO Yong-hyun Park).
Through this update, ‘Izuna’ and ‘Shizuko’ from ‘Hundred Ghosts Association Academy’ have newly appeared. ‘Izuna’ is a member of the Ninjutsu Research Department and has a ‘mystery’ attack type. Her characteristic is that she uses the ‘EX Skill’, which increases her attack speed for a certain period of time after moving to a specified location. ‘Shizuko’ works in the ‘Matsuri Operations Management Department’, and she uses ‘EX Skill’ to increase allies’ accuracy and install additional cover to block enemy attacks.
A new boss ‘Shiro & Kuro’ has also been added to the raid content ‘All Out War’. ‘Shiro’ and ‘Kuro’ are bosses who appeared at the closed theme park ‘Slumpia’. It requires strategic placement and use of characters by casting range attacks.
An event story called ‘Cherry Blossom Festival Accident’ was also presented, which tells the story of ‘Hundred Ghosts Night Travel Association Academy’. It consists of a story that unfolds when a teacher (user) is invited to deal with enemies that prevent him from preparing for the festival. Items obtained by performing event missions can be exchanged for items such as ‘Chise’, ‘Pina’, ‘Tsubaki’s’ ‘Eleph’ and ‘Tactical Training BD’, and by accumulating event points, you can use items such as ‘Blue Pyxite’, ‘Eligma’, and ‘Tactical Training BD’. You can also obtain credits. Users who logged in on the 29th were also given a gift of 1,200 in-game goods, ‘Blue Pyxite’.
New ‘substory’ content ‘Matsuri Operation Management Department’ and ‘Execution Department’ were also introduced. When you acquire one or more characters from the ‘Matsuri Operations Management Department’ and ‘Execution Department’, you can unlock and enjoy the corresponding story content.
Nexon also released the second version of the ‘Molukon’ emoticon, which was sensationally popular with users. Following the first part, this KakaoTalk emoticon also contains images of ‘Blue Archive’ characters in a witty way. Available to all users who subscribe to the official YouTube channel.
