Blue Protocol Returns as Star Resonance with a Fresh Start

by

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of nostalgia and anticipation upon hearing about the rebirth of Blue Protocol as Star Resonance. The game was once a beacon of hope in the MMORPG genre, albeit short-lived in its original form.

Under a new identity and with a different development team, Blue Protocol could potentially get the second opportunity it needs. Previously known for its lack of success under Bandai Namco, this game is now being reborn as Star Resonance, developed by the Chinese studio BOKURA, which is backed by Tencent.

Star Resonance shares a similar artistic aesthetic with its expansive world. This game is planned to debut in the realm of Regnas, as portrayed in Blue Protocol. The initial release will be for both PC and Android devices, with the added benefit of cross-platform playability.

From December 6, 2024, to December 19, 2024, the game is accepting registrations for a closed beta test exclusively for Chinese users during this period.

The planned launch of the closed beta test is set for December 23rd, perfect for some festive gaming fun!

Fans and potential players of the game Blue Protocol are sharing their opinions and feelings about the possibility of it transforming into a full gacha game. On a subreddit dedicated to gacha games, fans have expressed worries that if Bandai decides to change Blue Protocol into a gacha game, it might signal a growing trend where gacha games eventually become the dominant form of MMORPGs in the future.

Although the idea of Blue Protocol returning to the gaming world excites certain enthusiasts, it remains unknown if Star Resonance will be launched globally at this point.

Nevertheless, Bandai Namco’s action suggests they remain optimistic about the IP’s success, even though it appears to be drawing to a close, both in the Western and Japanese markets.

Star Resonance’s official site highlights that a variety of six unique character types will be at the disposal of gamers to select from.

From close-ranged swordsmen to classes who prefer long-ranged fights such as mages and archers, there’s a role for everyone in Star Resonance.

Over time, gacha games have made significant progress, and titles such as Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves are now leading innovators in the realm of contemporary massively multiplayer role-playing games (MMORPGs).

These contemporary MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) are accessible via mobile devices and offer cross-platform play on computers, allowing players to enjoy them just about anywhere and at any time.

If you’re really committed to obtaining that favorite gacha character or item, you could potentially play continuously throughout the day, moving between your devices – akin to the persistent effort required in today’s Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs).
