Fans of Bandai Namco’s anime MMORPG, Blue Protocol, were left disheartened by the announcement of its global shutdown even before its debut. However, there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon with the emergence of a new MMORPG, Star Resonance. This fresh title is set in the familiar world of Regnas, the same enchanting realm as Blue Protocol, breathing new life into the beloved franchise.
Originally a collaborative project with Bandai Namco, Star Resonance is now being developed by Shanghai BOKURA with Tencent Games taking up publishing duties. Players can look forward to experiencing this captivating world on both PC and smartphones, expanding the accessibility and appeal of the game. The visual style, character designs, and weaponry bear a notable resemblance to Blue Protocol, promising a seamless transition for fans who cherished the original aesthetic.
While comprehensive details about Star Resonance remain under wraps, anticipation is building for a playtest scheduled to take place soon in China. This move could provide a glimpse into what the future holds for enthusiasts eager to explore Regnas once again. With Blue Protocol’s unfortunate shutdown slated for January 2025, bringing an end to its western release dreams, all eyes are now on whether Tencent will extend Star Resonance’s reach beyond China after its initial launch.
Stay tuned as fans worldwide eagerly await further announcements, hoping that Star Resonance can fill the void left by Blue Protocol and offer a new adventure in a beloved universe. Whether it will arrive on international shores remains a mystery, but the excitement surrounding its potential is palpable.
