Blue Archive Unveils Serenade Promenade Update: New Idol-Themed Students Added

Nexon continues to impress with the latest update for *Blue Archive*, perfectly hitting the high notes following The Senses Descend update. The spotlight is now on the Serenade Promenade event, which has kicked off with flair, introducing two new idol-themed students, an engaging new story, and exciting news for PC enthusiasts.

Taking center stage in the recruitment event are Mari (Pop Idol) and Sakurako (Pop Idol). Mari brings a stylish healing support to the game, uniquely converting excess healing into bonus HP while accumulating Fan Service. On the other hand, Sakurako amplifies Crit and Crit Dmg for herself and Special Students, making her a crucial asset for teams focused on rapid, high-damage outputs. Both idols are available for recruitment only until April 28th, so make sure to secure them before their time in the limelight ends.

The Serenade Promenade story event, which went live on April 15th, invites players to step into the spotlight after completing Mission 2-3 (Normal). This event blends idol aspirations with school-life drama in the signature Blue Archive style and is available until the same April 28th deadline.

In a thrilling announcement during their recent livestream, the developers confirmed that *Blue Archive* is set to launch on Steam. This move will allow PC players to sync their progress and enjoy cross-platform play. Additionally, improvements to the English localization have been promised, ensuring a smoother experience for all players.
