The anime-styled MMORPG

The game will be published outside of Japan for the first time, launching in Europe, North America, and Latin America on platforms such as Steam and the Epic Games Store as a free-to-play title.
What to expect from the renewed Blue Protocol: Star Resonance
After its initial release in Japan in June 2023 and its lukewarm reception,

which had originally been planned with Amazon Games. This decision led to the departure of over a hundred employees from the company.
However, the project was revived by the Chinese studio Bokurawith support from Tencentand includes part of the original development team.
