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

Fresh off the heels of *The Senses Descend* update, Nexon delivers yet another exciting update for *Blue Archive*, and this one truly strikes a chord. The all-new *Serenade Promenade* event is now live, spotlighting two dazzling idol-themed students, an engaging story expansion, and some major news for PC players eagerly awaiting a desktop experience.

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

Taking the stage in the latest recruitment event are Mari (Pop Idol) and Sakurako (Pop Idol), two rhythm-infused additions to your squad. Mari blends utility with flair, offering healing support that converts excess healing into bonus HP while building up Fan Service stacks—perfect for sustaining through longer battles.

Sakurako, on the other hand, thrives in aggressive playstyles. She enhances her own Critical Rate and Critical Damage, along with boosting Special Students, making her an ideal pick for teams built around high burst output. Both idols are only available until April 28th, so time is of the essence if you want to add these stars to your roster.

Serenade Promenade Story Event Now Live

Kicking off on April 15th, the *Serenade Promenade* story event invites players to take part in a melodious blend of idol dreams and academy drama. Available to those who have cleared Mission 2-3 (Normal), this event continues Blue Archive’s tradition of immersive storytelling and character-driven narratives. Like the recruitment drive, it also wraps up on April 28th, so be sure to dive in early and experience the full arc.

Blue Archive Coming Soon to Steam

In a recent livestream, the development team confirmed what many PC fans were hoping for—*Blue Archive* is set to launch on Steam. This upcoming release will allow players to sync progress across platforms, enabling seamless cross-play between mobile and PC. Alongside this announcement, the team also teased improvements to the game’s English localization, promising a smoother and more polished experience for international audiences.

Chokmah (Special Armor) Final Restriction Release Event

Rounding out this wave of updates is the *Chokmah (Special Armor) Final Restriction Release* event, active until May 12th. This challenge introduces a multi-tiered boss battle with an armor-focused twist.
