NEXON Games is partnering with the Korea Ceramic Foundation for the Borderless project. Six artisans will create craft works based on the Blue Archive IP. The results will be showcased at the 2026 Gyeonggi Craft Festa this October.

NEXON Games announced on the 29th that it is participating in the NXC Foundation's social contribution project, 'Borderless,' to support the creation of craft pieces inspired by the Blue Archive IP. To facilitate this, NEXON Games signed an MOU with the Korea Ceramic Foundation and the NXC Foundation to promote the Borderless Craft Archive project. The three organizations will collaborate on the production of works using the Blue Archive IP, as well as exhibitions and interactive programs for visitors.
Borderless is an NXC Foundation social contribution project that highlights the artistic value of games. It provides creators with NEXON game IPs to use as a source of artistic inspiration and supports the public in enjoying the resulting works. This collaboration involves six craft artists specializing in ceramics, metalwork, woodwork, glass, mother-of-pearl, and textiles, with NEXON Games providing joint inspections and production guidance at each stage.
The works created through this collaboration will be unveiled at the 2026 Gyeonggi Craft Festa, held from October 23 to November 1 at the Gyeonggi Craft Creation Support Center in Yeoju. During the event, exhibitions of the six artists' works and interactive programs for general visitors and game users will be operated. NEXON Games will introduce the production process and the event site through various channels to highlight the significance of the collaboration.
Kim Yong-ha, Executive Producer at NEXON Games, stated, "It is meaningful that Blue Archive is being expanded into new forms through the interpretation of craft artists," adding, "I hope this collaboration serves as an opportunity to experience the Blue Archive IP in a more diverse way."
Kim Jung-wook, Chairman of the NXC Foundation, said, "Through Borderless, NEXON has showcased new and innovative creations that blur the boundaries between games and art," and added, "We will strive to spread the cultural and artistic value of game IP widely together with NEXON Games and the Korea Ceramic Foundation."
Ryu In-gwon, CEO of the Korea Ceramic Foundation, remarked, "It is a meaningful agreement where the two realms of traditional craft and gaming meet to open up new creative possibilities," and added, "I hope this cooperation will broaden the base of the craft culture industry and serve as an opportunity to lead a new audience into the world of crafts."

넥슨게임즈는 29일, 넥슨재단 사회공헌 사업 '보더리스'에 참여해 블루 아카이브 IP을 활용한 공예 작품 제작을 지원한다고 밝혔다. 이를 위해 넥슨게임즈는 한국도자재단 및 넥슨재단과 보더리스 공예 아카이브 사업 추진을 위한 MOU을 체결했다. 세 기관은 협약을 통해 블루 아카이브 IP를 활용한 작품 제작과 전시, 관람객 체험 프로그램 운영 등을 공동 추진한다.
보더리스는 게임의 문화예술적 가치를 조명하는 넥슨재단의 사회공헌 사업이다. 게임을 예술적 영감의 원천으로 활용하도록 창작자에게 넥슨 게임 IP를 제공하고, 이를 통해 탄생한 작품을 대중이 향유하도록 지원한다. 이번 협업에는 도자, 금속, 목공, 유리, 자개, 섬유 분야 공예 작가 6인이 참여하며, 넥슨게임즈는 단계별 공동 검수와 제작 자문을 담당한다.
협업을 통해 제작한 작품은 오는 10월 23일부터 11월 1일까지 경기도 여주 경기공예창작지원센터에서 열리는 2026 경기공예페스타에서 공개한다. 행사 기간에는 공예 작가 6인의 작품 전시와 함께 일반 관람객 및 게임 유저를 대상으로 한 체험 프로그램도 함께 운영된다. 넥슨게임즈는 작품 제작 과정과 행사 현장을 다양한 채널로 소개하며 협업의 의미를 알린다.
넥슨게임즈 김용하 본부장은 “블루 아카이브가 공예 작가들의 해석을 통해 새로운 형태로 확장된다는 점에서 뜻깊다”라며 “이번 협업이 블루 아카이브 IP를 더욱 다채롭게 경험할 수 있는 계기가 되기를 바란다”라고 말했다.
넥슨재단 김정욱 이사장은 “넥슨은 보더리스를 통해 게임과 예술의 경계를 허문 새롭고 참신한 창작물들을 선보여왔다”며 “넥슨게임즈, 한국도자재단과 함께 게임 IP의 문화예술적 가치를 널리 전파할 수 있도록 노력할 것”이라고 전했다.
한국도자재단 류인권 대표이사는 “전통 공예와 게임이라는 두 영역이 만나 새로운 창작의 가능성을 여는 뜻깊은 협약"이라며 "이번 협력이 공예 문화산업의 저변을 넓히고 새로운 관람객층을 공예의 세계로 이끄는 계기가 되기를 기대한다”라고 말했다.
