Look, let's be honest, Nexon has just dropped the brand-new event story titled Blue Archive: Ramgwa-cheoncheong on October 13th. Alongside this fresh update come two new Vibration-type students, plus all the juicy details regarding the upcoming 5th-anniversary festival ticket pre-sales.

The new event story follows the students of Shanhaijing Senior Secondary School as they head off on holiday to a valley village, only to find themselves attempting to discipline troublemaking students and figure out what it genuinely means to be an adult. Throughout this event story, players can gather special currencies like Audit Action Plans and Facility Admission Tickets, which can then be swapped at the event shop for various goodies such as Tactical Training BDs and Technical Notes (Shanhaijing). If players manage to conquer the high-difficulty challenge battles, Pyroxene rewards of 30 units await per stage, while wrapping up the ultimate Challenge EX stage nets a neat reward of 5 Secret Stone Fragments.

Naturally, two brand-new swimsuit-clad students taking center stage in the narrative have also arrived. First up is Kisaki (Swimsuit), a Vibration-type supporter whose EX Skill, 'Enactment: Sturdy Gymnastics', transforms into 'Declaration: Closed Today' after being used twice. This clever trick bumps up skill cost recovery while chipping away at the skill costs for three Striker-type allies to keep the momentum going.

Releasing right alongside is Shun (Swimsuit), a Vibration-type dealer who gathers 'Flower Buds' and powers them up across three distinct stages over time. Shun (Swimsuit) then unleashes an EX Skill that burns those stacks to deal heavy damage to a single target. During battle, Shun (Swimsuit) can even transition into 'Shuering (Swimsuit)', unleashing an EX Skill that dishes out massive damage while scaling down attack power by up to three times with each use.

In what the publisher calls a major milestone, details for the ticket pre-sales for the global service 5th-anniversary festival have also been unveiled. Nexon is set to host this grand celebration across two days on November 7th and 8th. The event promises user-run fan-creation booths alongside a variety of on-site activities designed to let players experience the game's universe and characters offline.

Festival ticket pre-sales will roll out across two waves based on player level, provided they hold a pre-issued membership code. Pre-registration for membership verification kicks off for the first wave on October 13th, with the second wave opening on October 15th. Wave 1 ticket sales begin at 8 PM on October 14th for players at level 70 and above, while Wave 2 opens at 8 PM on October 16th for those at level 30 and above.
