New Closed Beta for Bandai Namco's Anime MMORPG Blue Protocol Announced

Bandai Namco is reviving its anime MMORPG, Blue Protocol, with a new title set for a closed beta in mid-August 2025.

Blue Protocol: Star Resonance Closed Beta Announced

Bandai Namco has announced that sign-ups for the closed beta of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance are now open. This exciting opportunity allows gamers to experience the latest iteration of the anime MMORPG ahead of its official launch. Interested players can register until mid-August 2025, with the beta set to commence soon after.

In December 2022, Bandai Namco allied with Amazon Games to introduce Blue Protocol to global audiences, though the game was ultimately suspended in January 2025. Following this, Shanghai Baokela Network Technology (SBNT) confirmed in December 2024 that it would be reviving the franchise with Star Resonance, retaining the original setting while introducing new characters and plot elements.

As part of the beta experience, players will encounter in-game purchases, though all progress will be wiped at the beta’s conclusion. For information on qualifying for the beta, including a recruitment questionnaire or joining the game’s Discord server, please visit the official site.
