Blue Archive Adds Idol-Themed Students in New Update

By LilyJan 02,2026

- Mari (Idol Ver.) and Sakurako (Idol Ver.) join the battle royale - Serenade Promenade story event kicks off simultaneously - Steam version of Blue Archive launching soon

Following the Senses Descend update, Nexon delivers another content-packed Blue Archive update that strikes all the right chords. The newly launched Serenade Promenade event introduces two idol-themed characters, an immersive story chapter, and exciting news for PC gamers.

The spotlight shines on Mari (Idol Ver.) and Sakurako (Idol Ver.) in Blue Archive's latest recruitment campaign. Mari redefines battlefield healing with her unique ability to convert overheal into bonus HP while stacking Fan Service buffs.

Sakurako specializes in amplifying Critical Rate and Critical Damage for herself and Special-type allies, making her ideal for high-intensity, damage-focused team compositions. Both characters will only be available until April 28th - don't miss this limited-time opportunity to add them to your roster.

The Serenade Promenade story event commenced on April 15th, accessible after clearing Mission 2-3 (Normal). This narrative experience blends idol aspirations with school-life adventures in signature Blue Archive style, running concurrently with the character recruitment period through April 28th.
