Blue Archive's merchandise line has expanded significantly across multiple figure manufacturers and formats. Good Smile Company and its brands have announced several new figures: a 1/7 scale Kisaki figure, a 1/7 scale Seia figure from Good Smile Arts Shanghai, a figma of Saori Jōmae, a Nendoroid of Takanashi Hoshino in battle form, and a Nendoroid Surprise blind-box set featuring six characters. Phat Company is releasing a 1/7 scale Shiroko figure, and Good Smile Company is releasing a figma of Shiroko*Terror. Furyu's F:NEX brand announced a 1/7 scale Chiaki figure, and a Chihiro Memorial Lobby Ver. figure was shown as a painted sample. MODEROID announced its first Blue Archive mecha kit, the Da'at combining robot. Banpresto revealed prize figures for Blue Archive in its upcoming lineup. A re-release of the Mari 1/7 scale figure was also announced.
On the technical side, NEXON Games engineer Kim Myeong-ji detailed at NDC26 a new TTS model for Blue Archive using Style-Bert-VITS2, an open-source Japanese-focused model, to improve emotional expression and naturalness in character voices. The upgrade targets better reproduction of nuances like distress and joy, addressing specific feedback on long vowels and pitch in Japanese lines.
Separately, NEXON Games' IO Division, the team behind Blue Archive, showed its new game Project RX to the public for the first time at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles. The booth featured voice-recognition rock-paper-scissors interactions with characters. Producer interviews indicated the team aims to avoid competing with Blue Archive and is not leading with combat content. Project RX is also scheduled for Tokyo Game Show 2026 in September.
