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

Following the recent *Senses Descend* update, Nexon delivers yet another exciting update for *Blue Archive*, and this one is filled with rhythm, flair, and a major platform expansion. The newly launched *Serenade Promenade* event brings with it two dazzling idol-themed students, an engaging new story arc, and some highly anticipated news for PC players eagerly awaiting a desktop experience.

Mari (Pop Idol) and Sakurako (Pop Idol) Join the Roster

Stepping into the spotlight are Mari and Sakurako—two brand-new idol recruits now available through the latest recruitment event. Mari shines as a support unit with a unique healing mechanic, transforming excess healing into additional HP while building up Fan Service stacks, making her a valuable asset in prolonged battles.

Sakurako, on the other hand, excels in dealing high burst damage by increasing her own Crit Rate and Crit Damage, along with boosting Special Students in your squad. This makes her ideal for aggressive playstyles aiming for quick, decisive victories. Both characters are only available until April 28th, so be sure to recruit them before they leave the stage!

Serenade Promenade Story Event Now Live

The *Serenade Promenade* story event kicked off on April 15th, offering a fresh narrative experience that blends idol culture with the signature charm of *Blue Archive*. To participate, simply complete Mission 2-3 (Normal), and you’ll gain access to this musical adventure filled with school-life drama and character-driven storytelling. Like the limited-time recruits, the event will remain active until April 28th.

Blue Archive Coming Soon to Steam

One of the biggest announcements from the recent livestream was the confirmation that *Blue Archive* is heading to Steam. This means PC players can finally enjoy the game natively on their preferred platform, with full cross-save functionality allowing seamless progress transfer between mobile and PC. Alongside the Steam launch, the development team also promised improvements to the English localization, enhancing readability and immersion for Western audiences.

Chokmah (Special Armor) Final Restriction Release Event

Rounding out this content-packed update is the *Chokmah (Special Armor) Final Restriction Release* event, active until May 12th. This challenge introduces a multi-tiered boss battle with an emphasis on armor-based enemies. Conquer the final stage and automatically claim rewards from all previous tiers—no need to grind through every level individually.
