The increasing sales are related to Blue Archive’s 1.5-anniversary celebration, where new summer swimsuit outfits have been released, and players can summon characters a hundred times for free.

Releasing swimsuit outfits proves to be a successful strategy to satisfy players. According to Gameage, during another Blue Archive swimsuit event in June, the daily active players increased by 20 thousand, including 13.5 thousand male players in their 20s. The average time played also increased from half an hour to over an hour.
