With the rate that Blue Archive put out updates, events, and new characters I thought it had been around for many years, but apparently, I was wrong. In fact, we are only coming up to its third birthday, a date that Nexon is celebrating with the 3-Year Anniversary Thanksgiving Event.

On October 18th, the official Blue Archive YouTube channel will host a special anniversary live stream, Kivotos Live. Nothing concrete has been confirmed about what it will contain, but we know there will be live-stream gifts, so it could be worth checking out just for that.

Speaking of presents, how would you like to get your hands on 1,000 Pyroxene for practically nothing? Simply pre-register for the 3rd anniversary before the 21st and you will get them for free. It is a bit weird to have a pre-registration event when the game is already out but hey, free stuff.

If you would like some more stuff then you can take on the special web rhythm game. At the time of writing it isn't available yet, but it will be accessible through the anniversary site, and taking part will earn you another 1,000 Pyroxene, 1,000 Rechargeable Cookies, 1,000 Motivation Boost candy, and 1,000 D-Day Calendars.

What is definitely available to take part in now is Hifumi’s Peroro 1-Day Class. This is a long-term artistic event where you can use a Peroro template to create your own artwork and submit it to the community for a chance to earn 600 Pyroxene. There are three rounds each lasting around two weeks up till the beginning of December, so plenty of time to give it a go.

Finally, you can check out the October and November Roadmap to see what is coming up, including forming a band with the After-School Sweets Club later this month, and the threat of all-out war between the Black Tortoise Promenade and Genryumon next month. Download Blue Archive from the App Store and Google Play to help celebrate three fun-filled years.
