Blue Archive New Big Event! Occult Research Club Mysteries and Ancient Spells

A new wave of mystery is about to sweep across Kivotos! Blue Archive’s latest event, “Occult Research Club”, is officially set to launch on August 20th, 2025 (Japan Time). While the official details remain under wraps, early teasers and community speculation are already fueling plenty of excitement — and questions.

What kind of secrets lie within the academy walls this time? And who exactly are these new students shrouded in magic and mystery? Let’s break down everything we know so far!

Event Overview: What We Know

The event name alone is enough to stir the imagination. With a subtitle like “Mysteries and Ancient Spells”, it’s clear this isn’t your average school club story. From the teaser visuals circulating online, we’re likely heading into one of Blue Archive’s more thematic and narrative -driven events — a story soaked in supernatural intrigue, arcane symbolism, and that signature mix of comedy and danger the game does so well.

So far, the only confirmed information is the launch date: August 20th, following the weekly maintenance. That gives us just enough time to get our teams prepped — and our theories lined up.

Occult Research Club: Setting the Stage for the Supernatural

What is the Occult Research Club, exactly?

While Blue Archive has flirted with mystery-themed subplots before, this marks the first time the occult is taking center stage. The teaser video gives us quick glimpses of dimly lit rooms, cryptic symbols, and students seemingly engaging in ritualistic or magical activity.

One standout detail? The setting appears to involve the Wild Hunt School of Fine Arts, a faction that, until now, has remained mostly on the sidelines. That alone has lore-lovers buzzing.

This could very well be a turning point in the narrative — a deeper dive into previously unexplored parts of Kivotos.

New Characters: Who Are They?

Based on the teaser footage and leaks from the JP community, two students are expected to feature prominently:

Eri – Seen holding what looks like tarot cards, dressed in an outfit combining magical motifs with a formal academy style. Her demeanor suggests someone analytical, perhaps even spiritually attuned.

Kanoe – Quiet, mysterious, and possibly the "real deal" when it comes to ancient spellwork. Her design hints at a deep connection to the occult world, possibly as a medium or channel.

Neither character has been officially confirmed as playable yet — but it wouldn’t be a Blue Archive event without a gacha banner, right? We’ll know more as soon as Yostar drops the patch notes.

Event Mechanics: What Might Be Coming?

While we can’t confirm specifics, previous events offer strong clues:

- Story Chapters are all but guaranteed, likely unlocking progressively across the event period.

- A minigame could return — possibly tied to symbols, spells, or even a tarot system. Some fans are speculating a “dice-run” game based on event icon leaks.

- Exclusive rewards, including items themed around the characters (Eri’s tarot deck, perhaps?) and the possible return of OOPARTS as rare drops.

- What’s clear is this event won’t just be about combat — it’s shaping up to be an atmospheric experience, rich with detail and immersive storytelling.

The Hype Is Real — And Just Getting Started

With the event just around the corner and minimal official info released, anticipation is running high across the global community. Reddit threads, Discord chats, and Twitter/X feeds are already filled with theories, fan art, and plenty of hype.

And honestly? It’s hard not to get swept up in it.

This looks like one of those events that might shift the tone of the game, if only for a little while. Between the supernatural setting, the new characters, and the potential for deeper lore, there’s a lot to look forward to.
