Nexon Games’ ‘Blue Archive’ has begun full-fledged activities as a Galaxy S24 collaboration game.
On the 7th, Blue Archive released a special video of ‘Galaxy S24 Ultra Accessory Blue Archive Edition’ on its YouTube channel. Although it is a short teaser of about 30 seconds, the reason it caught the eyes of users is because MX Studio’s general producer Kim Yong-ha personally stepped forward as a video model.
After hearing the alarm, I wake up, sit in front of my laptop, and in the short time I spend looking at my smartphone, numerous Blue Archive-related goods cover the room. Among them, S24 Ultra official accessories are also seen in passing.
The phrase in the video, “The performer’s personal items are also included,” once again makes us realize the PD’s ‘virtue’. In particular, beyond the official goods, even secondary creative items known only to fans appeared throughout the video, which once again received a surprising response.
Producer Kim Yong-ha has long been known in the gaming world as an expert on subculture, and through this, he succeeded in placing Blue Archive among the ranks of global representative subculture games. He is famous for showing his sincere affection for the ‘otaku’ industry as a whole, to the extent of personally visiting Japan to purchase doujin goods.
The special video exceeded 100,000 views on the day it was released. The topic of this collaboration and the goodwill toward the development team appear simultaneously in the comments. Reactions such as “A true leader stands at the front and his head is like the leader” and “Great actor Kim Yong-ha’s acting form is crazy” were the most recommended.
The collaboration between Nexon Blue Archive and Samsung Electronics Galaxy was first revealed in January. This is an additional announcement following the S24 product line presentation.
The S24 series is Samsung Electronics’ first smartphone based on AI technology. The S24 Ultra recently ranked first in the latest smartphone evaluation by receiving a total score of 87 points in the American consumer magazine Consumer Reports.
According to the detailed product information announced on the morning of the 8th, the Blue Archive Accessory Edition consists of approximately 11 types of components. What stands out is the S24 Ultra Whale Kit, as well as an acrylic cube, wireless charger, cell phone case, smart talk, acrylic key ring, benefit card, photo card, and stickers.
In addition, the Bixby Arona voice, which gave hints in the special video, is supported, and various Galaxy themes such as animated lock screens and wallpapers can be used on the smartphone. The purchase price for the entire edition is 339,000 won.
A total of 2,000 units will be sold from 11 am on March 18th to the 22nd, and only one unit can be purchased per person. The enclosed exchange coupon can be exchanged for rewards, including 1,200 blue pyroxenes, in the game. Because sales quantities are limited, fierce purchasing competition is expected to occur upon opening.
Blue Archive recently conducted a collaboration with Ediya Coffee, proving the enthusiasm of fans for participation by selling out limited products in just a few days. Curiosity is growing as to how far the current trend, which has expanded the scope of collaboration to include the largest major brands in Korea, will continue.
