The anime-inspired MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance will officially launch across Europe, North America, and South America on October 9, 2025.
The game invites players to dive into a fun fantasy story, embark on an adventure with friends, and enjoy every moment in this anime-style world of Regnus. Fans can now wishlist the game on Steam and the Epic Games Store, and pre-register on Google Play and App Store to prepare for the adventure.
The game will support cross-platform play between mobile and PC, allowing players to enjoy a seamless experience across devices with synchronized progression.
Bandai Namco and Amazon Games had planned to publish the original anime-inspired Blue Protocol in the West. But in January 2025, Bandai Namco announced it was shutting its Japanese servers for the games and canceling the plant o publish globally. That was due to the challenge of maintaining a service that met fan expectations.
But Shanghai Bokura Technology, a Tencent-owned studio, picked up the game. It is making the game and A Plus Japan is publishing the game on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), iOS and Android. Now Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is the spiritual successor to the original.
Thanks to beta testers
A Plus Japan said the recent closed beta test was met with a good response, drawing over 29,000 players into the world of Regnus. The development team extends its deepest gratitude to all participants.
The valuable feedback is being actively used to polish and improve the game for the official launch. To celebrate the community’s spirit, a special commemorative video has been created, featuring players’ best moments from the beta, featuring the game’s official English theme song, “Starlight Over Asterleeds~星々が輝く場所~”.
