Blue Archive JP Publisher Switches to Nexon in January 2027
Yostar announced that publishing rights for Blue Archive in Japan will transfer to Nexon starting in January 2027. The decision follows approximately one year of discussions between the two companies, resulting in a mutual agreement to terminate their existing contract. Yostar President Li Hengda confirmed that the current publisher will continue operating the game responsibly until the transition is complete.
Nexon Games remains the developer, with no changes planned to the development structure. All player account data and premium currency, including Pyroxene, will carry over to the new system. A special website details these operational changes, while an interview featuring executives from both companies is scheduled for release in November 2026.
AUTOMATON WEST reported on September 18, 2026, that Nexon assured Fareidolia would not impact Blue Archive development.
