Bandai Namco’s anime MMORPG Blue Protocol, which was previously cancelled, is set to make a comeback on PC and mobile devices this year in regions outside of Japan. The game, now known as Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, was rescued by the Tencent-funded developer Bokura after Bandai Namco decided to shut down the Japanese servers and cancel its western release. The new version of the game will be available in Europe, North America, and Latin America, offering players a chance to experience the world of Blue Protocol once again.
The revival of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance marks a new chapter in the game’s journey, with a fresh opportunity for players to dive into its dynamic combat system, anime-styled open world, deep character customization, and social features. The game will support cross-platform play between PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) and mobile (iOS, Google), allowing gamers to enjoy synchronized progression across different devices. This move opens up exciting possibilities for collaboration and interaction among players in the game world.
The original release of Blue Protocol in Japan in June 2023 was met with mixed reviews, leading to its eventual shutdown and cancellation of the western release by Bandai Namco. However, with the new iteration of the game under the management of Bokura and Amazon Games, players in the west will finally have a chance to explore the game for themselves. Despite the challenges faced by the development team and the uncertainty surrounding the game’s future, the return of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance brings hope for a fresh start and a vibrant community of players eager to embark on new adventures.
