Blue Archive releases the Serenade Promenade update with new idol-themed students

Following the excitement of The Senses Descend update, Nexon delivers yet another thrilling update for *Blue Archive*, hitting all the right notes. The Serenade Promenade event is now live, introducing two new idol-themed students, a captivating new story arc, and exciting news for fans eager to play on PC.

Mari (Pop Idol) and Sakurako (Pop Idol) are the stars of the latest recruitment event in *Blue Archive*. Mari brings a unique healing support with a stylish flair, converting extra healing into bonus HP and stacking up Fan Service. On the other hand, Sakurako focuses on enhancing Crit and Crit Dmg for herself and Special Students, making her a valuable asset for teams that thrive on fast, high-damage bursts. Both idols will be available for recruitment only until April 28th, so be sure to seize your chance before the event concludes.

The Serenade Promenade story event also kicked off on April 15th, offering players a chance to step into the spotlight after completing Mission 2-3 (Normal). This event beautifully intertwines idol dreams with school-life drama, a hallmark of *Blue Archive*. Make sure to participate before the April 28th deadline.

In addition to these updates, the developers recently confirmed during a livestream that *Blue Archive* is set to launch on Steam. PC players will soon enjoy cross-platform play and progress syncing. The team has also promised enhancements to the English localization.
