Nexon has officially rolled out the first chapter of Blue Archive's Main Story Vol.6, 'Oratorio of the Elapsed Time', titled 'Scenery Beyond the Boundary'.

This narrative arc puts the spotlight on the students of the 'Arius Branch School', who were once the antagonists in the 'Eden Treaty' chapter. It’s a tale of reconciliation, focusing on how these students confront their past traumas and rediscover their true purpose amidst the lingering tension with 'Trinity General School'. The story will unfold across three chapters starting February 3, offering a deep dive into the distinct lives of characters like Subaru and Maia.

Alongside the story update, a new character 'Misaki (Swimsuit)' has been added. She joins the 'Arius Squad' as an Explosive-type dealer, wielding her signature portable missile launcher, the 'Saint Predator'. Her 'EX Skill' deals bonus damage based on the number of debuffs on the target, making her highly effective in large-scale cooperative encounters.

The newly added mini-game 'Hi-Lo Ha-Lo' features tower defense mechanics. You will need 'Game Booth Tickets' to participate, where strategic positioning of your characters is key. Clear the stages to earn 'Atsuko (Swimsuit) Eleph', and complete missions to rack up 'Pyroxene', 'Technique Notes', and 'Credit Points'.

To mark the occasion, Nexon is running the 'Arius Autonomous District Emergency Lesson Mission' event from February 3 to March 10. By completing daily tasks, you can earn 'Random Oparts', 'Enhancement Stones', and 'Arius Student Handbooks'. Gather 100 'Arius Student Handbooks' and you can trade them in for a '10-Recruitment Ticket'.
