Blue Protocol, an anime-inspired MMO from Bandai Namco to be published in the West by Amazon Games, will shut down its Japanese servers in January 2025.

Blue Protocol, an anime-inspired MMO developed by Bandai Namco, will shut down its Japanese servers on January 18th, 2025. The game was in the process of being released in the West, with publishing handled by Amazon Games. Because of the game’s pending shuttering, its Western release has been summarily canceled. Blue Protocol’s developers released a statement on the game’s website in Japanese and English announcing the cancellation.

“We have worked hard to prepare for the release; however, we have come to the conclusion that it will not be possible to provide a service that satisfies all of you,” read the English statement. According to producer Sokichi Shimooka, Blue Protocol was in development for eight years before its Japanese release on PC in June 2023. Amazon Games planned to bring Blue Protocol to Western gamers, announcing its partnership with Bandai Namco at the 2022 Game Awards.
