Bandai Namco’s ill-fated MMORPG Blue Protocol has officially had a tombstone ordered on its behalf, as the company has announced it’ll be ceasing service in January 2025.
What that means in basic terms is that the servers will be shut down and the game will die, but what’s particularly interesting here is that Bandai Namco has also announced that the worldwide port of Blue Protocol – which was being handled by Amazon Games – is also dead. That version of the game was never actually released, quietly shifting its summer 2024 release date to a vague 2024 window earlier this year.
It’s a sad end for a game that unfortunately didn’t bring in the anticipated revenue Bandai Namco was looking for. In a financial report, the company vaguely hinted towards the game’s lacklustre performance, before promptly never mentioning it in such a capacity in future reports. Amazon Games, which was behind that planned western release, has been absolutely silent about the game for nearly a year. As mentioned above, the game was initially targeting a release window for… now. However, it was quietly pushed back, and now is firmly cancelled.
