Blue Archive is getting a new story event with the Cyber New Year March
You can also enjoy new story episodes covering the Athletics Training Club
There are new characters to unlock, interactive furniture and more!

It's a big day for Blue Archive with the reveal of their latest story event, the Cyber New Year March. This event will not only let you follow a brand new storyline in-game, but also adds even more characters for you to unlock. The tactical slice-of-life RPG's latest update is live as of today.
The Cyber New Year March follows the Millennium Science School hacker club as they embark on a camping trip deep into the wilderness for the New Year. Why have a New Year-themed event in the middle of summer? We can only guess. Regardless, you'll be able to recruit new outdoors-themed versions of two characters with Hare (Camp) and Kotama (Camp).
You can also get into the spirit of the great outdoors by earning the new interactive furniture for both characters, as well as the new Camping Coffee Table and Camping Partition items. 

Finally, there's the addition of new narratives for the Athletics Training Club of Millenium Science School, revealing even more of their pasts. The update is live now - you can check out a brief preview above and the new characters' trailer for more info.

Summertime
Again, we can only speculate as to why this New Year event is occurring in summer. Perhaps the calendar of the world of Blue Archive is different? Regardless, new characters will be welcome additions for many players, alongside new story content to expand on the pasts of their favorite characters.
