'Blue Protocol' F2P Multiplayer Action/RPG Shuts Down In Japan, Western Launch Canceled

by Rainier on Aug. 28, 2024 @ 8:39 a.m. PDT

Blue Protocol is a multiplayer online action role-playing game featuring beautiful, anime-inspired art.

Blue Protocol takes players on a heroic journey through Regnas, a world teetering on the brink of destruction after millennia of conflict and technology overuse. Players must unite and harness the mysterious light called Flux to defeat powerful foes. Players can fully customize their character, and choose from five unique classes at launch: the sturdy Blade Warden, the valiant Twin Striker, the versatile Keen Strider, the multifaceted Spell Weaver, or the damage-dealing Foe Breaker. Aided by Echoes, mystical summoned creatures with powerful attacks, players will unlock their memories and fight to save the world.

You are on a quest to uncover the truth about your origins. On your travels you meet people from many worlds and make new friends with whom you share your adventures. Eventually, you find yourself facing an inescapable destiny that will determine the fate of planet Regnas. The overuse of technology has created a distortion of space-time, which will eventually engulf planet Regnas and cause its destruction. To change that fate, you and your friends must travel to an unknown world in search of the truth and a solution. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an advanced player, the responsive action-combat system with special abilities, combos, counters, and damage multipliers are customizable to your skill level. Your class is dependent on the weapons you choose, allowing you to adapt to challenges without changing your character. Switch between five different classes, each with unique skills that add damage multipliers, healing, and elemental effects that can be modified and leveled-up.

Your character is an integral part of Blue Protocol. Enhance your adventure by enjoying complete character and combat customization. Control how your character appears with custom facial features, hairstyles, outfits, and accessories, and express their personality with gestures and dances to create a true-to-you character representative in game. Explore the vast world with a variety of mounts and craft custom weapons and gear for a truly unique experience.

Amazon Games and Bandai Namco Online announced that Blue Protocol is getting canned and is no longer coming to North America, Europe, South America, Australia, and New Zealand.

We regret to inform you that the Japanese version of Blue Protocol will be discontinued on Saturday January 18, 2025.

As a result, we have also canceled our plans to release a Western version of the game in collaboration with Amazon Games. We have enjoyed a strong relationship with Amazon Games throughout the development of Blue Protocol, and both of our teams are disappointed that we will not be able to deliver the game to players around the world.

We know there has been great anticipation for Blue Protocol since the first announcement of the game. We wanted to deliver an experience that is like stepping into the world of anime, and we have been challenging ourselves to create a world where each and every player can enjoy adventures as the main character of the anime. We have worked hard to prepare for the release; however, we have come to the conclusion that it will not be possible to provide a service that satisfies all of you.

We deeply apologize for the sudden announcement.

BLUE PROTOCOL

Work together as a team with other players to tackle quests, fight boss battles, and engage in massive online raids against towering monsters. There are three options when entering any dungeon, raid, or mission: solo, matchmaking, and recruiting parties.

Solo lets players go it alone; matchmaking randomly connects you with available players of a similar level; recruiting parties let you browse the parties who are taking on the same challenge. If you choose to go solo, don’t neglect giving aid to someone in the same area to get bonus rewards. Have a group or find others you want to play with consistently? Join a Team. Teams are like guilds, with a roster of like-minded players who can easily find each other and play together. Teams have leaders, deputies, and assistants who help administrate the Team, and can rank-up.

Blue Protocol will launch for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 in the second half of 2023, with a Closed Beta on PC earlier in the year.
