"Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is launching on October 9, with pre-registrations available now the iOS App Store and Google Play and opening soon on Steam, Epic Games Store. Subscribers to anime streaming service Crunchyroll will also receive a few in-game bonuses at launch, including a skin for their mount and other cosmetic items. After launch, many of the game's cosmetic items will only be available through a gacha system,"
"Both share a similar anime-inspired art style and action combat, but where Genshin Impact is primarily a single-player game, Blue Protocol was a full MMORPG. Blue Protocol had a long development period with multiple closed beta tests, which gave the game plenty of time to build up anticipation among potential players. It finally released in Japan in 2023, with a Western release by Amazon Games promised for 2024."
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance will launch on October 9 for PC and mobile, with pre-registrations available on iOS and Google Play and opening soon on Steam and Epic Games Store. Crunchyroll subscribers receive launch bonuses including a mount skin and cosmetic items. Post-launch cosmetics will largely be distributed through a gacha system, marking a major shift from the original monetization. Blue Protocol originally launched in Japan in 2023 after lengthy development and closed betas, but did not attract sufficient audience and was shut down in early 2025, cancelling a planned Western release. Tencent acquired the rights and formed a new studio to rebuild the game under the Star Resonance name. Console release status remains unconfirmed.
