Mobile RPG ‘Blue Archive’ Confirms Western Release

Nexon announced that the NAT Games-developed Blue Archive will be coming west to iOS and Android.

Blue Archive is a new IP from the publisher led by Producer Yong-ha Kim, mainly collecting waifus and taking on story missions. The gameplay focuses on its narrative, where players will witness students’ daily lives at academies and clubs.

Gameplay features unique animation styles and a constantly changing, full-3D battle between students attending academies and clubs.

Blue Archive was initially released in Japan in February and ranked 4th and 8th in top game sales in the Google Play and App Store. A schedule for the global launch1 will be announced at a later date.

This global release will be handled by Nexon proper, while their subsidiary NAT Games works on events for Japanese players. We’ll see how this plays into the monetization and any events.
