SEOUL – Aug. 21, 2024 – Tactical anime RPG Blue Archive takes players on a high-stakes mission in the mobile game’s latest event story, “From Opera 0068 with Love!”. This new narrative follows The Problem Solver 68 students, an endearing crew of no-nonsense fixers for hire, as they take on the intimidating kingpin of a massive organization, Don Arancino. Players will earn “Valentine’s Day Outing Passes,” the event’s currency, as they progress through the story, and can use those passes to watch new stories with students through Valentine’s Episodes.
In Nexon’s Blue Archive, players step into the role of Sensei, recruiting talented students to confront threats looming over the academy city of Kivotos. With strategic combat and an ever-expanding roster of distinctive characters, players will experience heartfelt storylines, immersive gameplay and a wealth of rewards.
Along with “From Opera 0068 with Love!” comes brand-new versions of two of the story’s stars, Aru and Kayoko:
Aru (Dress) – The leader of Problem Solver 68 has a sleek look to go with her powerful skills. As a Piercing-Type Striker, she uses her EX skill to increase Crit DMG of an ally other than herself for 30 seconds. A better look at Aru (Dress) is found in the new teaser.
Kayoko (Dress) – Of the four members in Problem Solver 68, Kayoko holds authority as the department head. Another Piercing-Type Striker, she can enter Infiltration Mode to increase her Crit DMG upon entering battle. She also deals significant DEF-ignoring damage with her EX skill, which is converted into Guaranteed Crit DMG while Infiltration Mode is maintained. Fans can see Kayoko (Dress) in action in this fresh sneak peek.
To celebrate the update, Nexon is holding a special event until 6:59 p.m. UTC on Monday, Sept. 2, where players can visit the event banner to watch the story’s six episodes covering the daily lives of the Problem Solver 68 students. After each episode, players will receive 200 Pyroxenes for a total of 1,200 Pyroxenes in rewards.
