Greetings, Sensei!
Did you enjoy the Valentine's Day Event with
Wakamo?
Looking at the community today, many Senseis have
recently joined us here at Blue Archive.
This recent growth has been a great opportunity to
reaffirm our development, business, and operation teams' desires to not lose
the game's guiding vision.
Also, I hope you'll enjoy the new event story,
"The Clumsy Sister and the Magician of the Old Library." You'll get
to meet the new students, Ui and Hinata.
And you'll have a chance to earn Trinity Academy
materials by completing the Event Tasks!
Today I would like to address
something outside of our game updates.
This September, we received a guideline from the
Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee to either adjust the game's art
and resources or raise the game's age rating.
The quickest and easiest response would have been
to make those adjustments.
However, thinking of the Aris scene's adjustment
last time and as a PD, I was worried about negatively affecting our Senseis'
game experience with repeated changes if and when similar issues happen to
arise in the future.
And so, we on the development team have decided to
raise the game's age rating so that Senseis can enjoy our original content, and
then we'll create another app version of the game containing the adjusted
resources.
The version with the adjusted resources will
undergo a thorough review so we don't damage the characters’ visual
personalities. We will always notify you of any changes made in the adjusted
version.
To note, these separate game versions will not
affect your accounts in any way.
Please feel free to select the version appropriate
for your age and enjoy the game without concern.
When a game is in live operations, conditions
outside of the actual game can sometimes cause unexpected issues and changes,
but we will respond thoroughly to any such issues so that you may continue
enjoying Blue Archive with as little disturbance to your gameplay experience as
possible.
There are many other events we have been preparing
outside of the game itself that I will announce the next time we speak.
I hope we meet again soon, Sensei!
