Despite initial excitement and comparisons to Genshin Impact, Blue Protocol's development journey has ended almost a decade later, with its worldwide release now canceled. Bandai Namco announced that they have concluded it’s not feasible to provide a satisfactory service to players. Consequently, the Japanese version will also be shutting down, leaving fans without the anticipated alternative to Genshin Impact.
In a statement regarding Blue Protocol's cancellation, Bandai Namco noted, 'We have come to the conclusion that it will not be possible to provide a service that satisfies all of you.' This underscores the challenges developers face in meeting player expectations and the complexities behind launching a successful online game, especially when it follows in the shadow of titans like Genshin Impact.
Initially, Blue Protocol stirred discussions about becoming a formidable competitor to Genshin Impact, sparking vast anticipation among gamers. However, nearly ten years of development led to its downfall, leaving many fans disappointed and once again searching for suitable alternatives such as Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Wuthering Waves.
The scrapping of the worldwide release for Blue Protocol signals a significant setback in the competitive landscape of open-world RPGs, where Genshin Impact has set a high bar in terms of engaging gameplay and player satisfaction. With the game's closure, players are left to turn back to established titles.
