Blue Archive (Korean: 블루 아카이브 /Japanese: ブルーアーカイブ) is a role-playing game developed by Nexon Games (formerly NAT Games), a subsidiary of South Korean game company Nexon. The game is free-to-play with gacha mechanics. It was first released for Android and iOS by Shanghai Yostar (CN/JP) in February 2021 and worldwide in November that year by Nexon. The combat system of Blue Archive features a 3D real-time environment with chibi characters.

Blue Archive takes place in the academy city of Kivotos. The player takes the role of a teacher, called Sensei, who is summoned by the president of the General Student Council, a committee managing the schools, before her disappearance. Criminal activity rises following her disappearance. Sensei has the task to resolve the issues around Kivotos and help find the missing president.

Blue Archive Community--a community run discord server--decided to immortalize Blue Archive in one of the largest online artwork collaboration making it's return, r/place.
