Bandai Namco has introduced that the Japanese model of its stay service anime MMO Blue Protocol might be ending on January 18, 2025. After discussions with Amazon Games, the discharge of the title in Europe and the US may also be cancelled.
“We know there was nice anticipation for Blue Protocol because the first announcement of the sport,” the sport’s administration crew says in a weblog put up. “We wished to ship an expertise that’s like getting into the world of anime, and we have now been difficult ourselves to create a world the place every participant can get pleasure from adventures as the principle character of the anime. We have labored exhausting to organize for the discharge. However, we have now come to the conclusion that it’s going to not be doable to supply a service that satisfies all of you.”
As you’ll anticipate, followers of the sport aren’t blissful. “Dude, what the fuck,” one participant says. “You made me wait three years and had me hyped as this was my most anticipated recreation, drop the Japanese model after which say international is coming later, and then you definitely cancel it??”
While it undoubtedly sucks for all the possible gamers who will not have had an opportunity to truly see what Blue Protocol is like for themselves, I believe the individuals who have been achieved the dirtiest are all of these gamers who’ve spent bucket a great deal of cash on this recreation.
In one other announcement video, some builders go over the ultimate roadmap for Blue Protocol and what the subsequent few months earlier than closure will appear to be. Unfortunately, gamers will be unable to get refunds for the Rose Orbs forex, and you’ll not have the ability to purchase extra of the forex. But Bandai Namco might be giving out 5,000 Rose Orbs each month from September till January, so you’ll be able to nonetheless get cosmetics, only for the sake of getting cool stuff. Players may also have the ability to get the newly launched battle cross totally free.
While it is undoubtedly a disgrace to see Blue Protocol getting cancelled, there have been a few purple flags during the last 12 months or so. Blue Protocol’s govt producer Sokichi Shimooka even admitted in an interview with Famitsu that Bandai Namco needed to divert sources in direction of determining why so many gamers had been dropping off (by way of Siliconera).
