On June 26, Nexon Games announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Nexon Foundation and Korea Ceramic Foundation to promote activities such as the creation and exhibition of works using the "Blue Archive" IP, as well as experiential programs for visitors. Borderless is a social contribution project by Nexon Foundation that sheds light on the cultural and artistic value of games.

Six craft artists specializing in ceramics, metal, woodworking, glass, mother-of-pearl, and textiles will participate in this project, planning and producing works utilizing the "Blue Archive" IP. Nexon Games, as the IP provider, will be responsible for joint inspection and production consulting at each stage of the production process in accordance with the agreement.

The completed works are scheduled to be released at the "2026 Gyeonggi Craft Festa," which will be held at the Gyeonggi Craft Creation Support Center in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, from October 23 to November 1.

Kim Yongha, Head of Nexon Games, stated, "It is meaningful that 'Blue Archive' is being expanded into new forms through the interpretation of craft artists. I hope that this collaboration will become an opportunity for people to experience the IP in more diverse ways."

Kim Jungwook, Chairman of Nexon Foundation, said, "Through Borderless, Nexon has introduced new and creative works that break down the boundaries between games and art. Together with Nexon Games and Korea Ceramic Foundation, we will strive to widely promote the cultural and artistic value of game IP."

Ryoo Inkwon, CEO of Korea Ceramic Foundation, commented, "This agreement is significant in that it opens up new creative possibilities by bringing together the fields of traditional craft and games. I hope this collaboration will broaden the base of the craft cultural industry and serve as an opportunity to draw new audiences into the world of craft."
