Blue Archive introduces new swimsuit versions of characters alongside fresh narrative in latest update

• Discover the “Traces of a Dream” story
• 100 free recruitments up for grabs
• Swimsuit versions of characters available 

Nexon has announced a new update to Blue Archive, letting you experience a fresh narrative within the RPG. In particular, the Main Story: Vol. 1 Foreclosure Task Force Chapter 3, “Traces of a Dream” – Part 5 Update will welcome special fest and student recruitments along with the “Sheside outside” Event Story, so it seems like there’s a lot to look forward to from now until February.

In the latest update to Blue Archive, you might just snag a 3-star student from Fest Recruitment with twice the chance. Now, Recruitment Points you accumulate can still be used even after January 29th, but in the form of Keystone Pieces in your mailbox.

The Student Recruitment Event, on the other hand, will kick things off on January 29th – here, you can encounter two special swimsuit versions of characters – Saori (3-star, Swimsuit) and Hiyori (3-star, Swimsuit) –  until February 7th.

As for the 100-Free Recruitment Event, you can earn a whopping 100 free recruitments simply by logging in from January 29th to February 7th. I suppose now’s as good a time as any to whip out all those currencies you’ve been saving up, isn’t it? You might just complete your dream squad thanks to all these gacha boosts if Lady Luck is on your side.
