Development

Yostar announced the mobile game in July 2020.[2] Initially scheduled to be released in 2020, it was later moved to February 4, 2021.[3][4] An English version of the game was announced in August 2021,[5] surpassing one million pre-registrations ahead of its release.[6] Blue Archive was released worldwide on November 8 of the same year.[7]

Censorship

Players discovered that an in-game illustration featuring a nude female character was cropped in the global version, despite the director promising that they will not alter the illustrations for the international release, resulting in a review bomb from players.[8] The game director addressed the controversy, citing "external requests" to modify the illustration, and suggests that future censorship may occur.[9][10]
