Blue Archive is moving its Japanese publishing from Yostar to Nexon in January 2027. NEXON Games stays the developer. Nexon says the switch brings publishing under the same group that develops the game. Accounts, items, and Pyroxene carry over. The transfer page opens in November, with maintenance in January. The game is being consolidated under its developer’s parent company rather than kept with a separate publisher.

Blue Archive Japan is changing publishers. Yostar will hand over publishing and operations of the Japanese version to Nexon, with the transition planned for January 2027. Kim Yong-ha reassured players: “The company operating the game will change, but we will do our utmost to ensure that the stories of Kivotos, the content we deliver, and the way the service is provided will not cause concern to the teachers.” He also said the team will work closely with Yostar to preserve players’ progress, memories, and experience.

Blue Archive has permanently banned more than 122,000 accounts in its biggest cheater crackdown so far. Nexon Games announced that 122,046 accounts on the global version were permanently banned for abusing the game’s systems and using illegal programs to gain an unfair advantage. Blue Archive has banned cheaters before, especially in competitive modes like Total Assault and Grand Assault, but this latest ban wave is much bigger than previous ones.
