Blue Archive got into a little bit of trouble with the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) over the game’s more erotic content.
In a recent statement by PD Kim YongHa, Blue Archive recently got issued a guideline from the GRAC to tone-down certain aspects of the game, or to raise the game’s age rating.
Rather than simply make these adjustments, Nexon realized how much it would negatively impact players, and decided to release a new, more toned-down version of Blue-Archive instead to comply with the GRAC. The original app will also have its age rating raised, while the new one will keep its current age rating.
The new version will still aim to maintain the character’s personalities, and will still be playable with your original account, and not affect your saves at all.
It’s great that Nexon’s putting in the effort to keep players happy, given that in recent memories a lot of games have been subject to censorship, it’s nice to see them put the extra effort into both censoring, and maintaining the game the way the senseis remember!
