Blue Archive | Steam Release Delayed Due to Platform Review
The PC Steam release of the free-to-play anime-style RPG Blue Archive has been delayed. Nexon Games announced the delay on June 23, 2025, citing a holdup in the Steam platform review. Rumors suggest two additional factors: the impending PC launch of “Uma Musume Pretty Derby” on June 26, and unresolved legal licensing agreements in Europe.
