Blue Protocol is Bandai Namco’s newest MMORPG set to take the market by storm. The hype for the game has been through the roof since it was originally announced, and many players are eager to know what the game’s release date is. With the question on everyone’s mind, let’s go over everything we know about Blue Protocol’s release date.
When Is Blue Protocol Releasing?
Blue Protocol’s exact release date is currently unknown. The game, which has yet to receive its Japanese release, may be quite some time away from releasing for a western audience. Bandai Namco are set out on hiring an english translation team lead, and it’s unclear if the poistion is filled yet, which could mean that development on the global version hasn’t begun yet. While this isn’t what many eager players want to hear, there is some speculation involving the game’s release to be excited for.
Blue Protocol finished it’s beta testing with the Japanese player base in 2020, and Bandai Namco are currently taking player opinion into account to improve the game further. While this means we can expect a more polished game on release, it also means that we’re getting closer to the game’s finished development. We can likely expect one more beta for the global version before the game’s western release.
Some fans are speculating that Blue Protocol’s Japanese launch will be sometime between March and April. While this news sounds exciting at first, there’s no source to confirm this rumor, so it’s better not to set your expectations.
What Makes Blue Protocol Different?
Blue Protocol is slated to release as an MMORPG featuring an open-world style of gameplay similar to Breath of the Wild. It will feature four classes at launch, each featuring its own interesting combat mechanics. Interestingly, Blue Protocol will apparently have crafting-exclusive gear. Players will not receive any equipment from monster drops, but will instead collect materials they must use to create everything themselves.

Set on the planet Regnus, the world of Blue Protocol has a colorful anime aesthetic reminiscent to popular series like Sword Art Online. Fans of Japanese animation should feel right at home grinding levels in this exciting new game. Blue Protocol is set be free to play, with no subscription required to enjoy the game.
