Bandai Namco's Blue Protocol, slated for a global launch via Amazon Games, has been canceled. The Japanese servers will also shut down in January 2025. This decision follows declining player numbers and the company's inability to meet player expectations.
Blue Protocol's Global Release and Japanese Server Shutdown
Final Updates and Player Compensation
Bandai Namco announced the termination of Blue Protocol's Japanese service on January 18, 2025. Consequently, the planned global release is canceled. The company cited its inability to deliver a satisfactory ongoing service as the reason.
In an official statement, Bandai Namco expressed regret, stating their inability to maintain a service meeting player expectations. They also acknowledged disappointment at the termination of global development with Amazon Games.
Until the January shutdown, Bandai Namco will continue supporting Blue Protocol with updates and new content. Rose Orb purchases and refunds will cease, but players will receive 5,000 Rose Orbs monthly (September 2024 – January 2025) and 250 daily. Season passes, starting with Season 9, will be free, and the final update (Chapter 7) is scheduled for December 18, 2024.
Launched in June 2023, Blue Protocol initially attracted over 200,000 concurrent players. However, early server issues and subsequent player dissatisfaction led to declining numbers.
Despite a promising start, the game's performance fell short of Bandai Namco's financial projections, a factor cited in their March 31, 2024 financial report, ultimately leading to this decision.
