Blue Protocol is an upcoming MMORPG by Bandai Namco that was announced way back in 2019, and still hasn’t been released.

Furthermore, the game hasn’t had any updates on its development or release date since May 2021, where they shared a teaser of their opening theme song.

Thankfully after a year and a half of silence, Bandai Namco finally said something in expectation for the upcoming title, on Twitter.

“Regarding Blue Protocol, we are still continuing development toward the service release,” the developer said. “We are sorry to keep you waiting, but we are preparing to announce the next development next week, so please wait for the follow-up report.”

It may be a little disappointing for fans that this latest update is an announcement for a future announcement. But on the bright side, news for the game is coming imminent, sometime in the next week.

There was no hints as to what fans can expect, but it is likely to be a potential beta announcement, seeing as the game did have a closed beta test back in 2020.

Blue Protocol is expected to launch first in Japan for PC. Though there has been job listings for a potential localization effort to the west.
