What kind of game is this? Blue Protocol is an anime MMORPG from Japan and is considered a major hope. The focus is on telling a story in which you must save the world. Because you are a time traveler who has traveled 1,000 years into the past to prevent a disaster.
The MMORPG focuses on fast and action-packed battles. The first gameplay from the beta generated many positive reactions.
The core elements of the game are:
- 5 different classes to choose from
- focus on PvE
- no open world, but very large adventure zones where 30 players can be at the same time
- there will be no classic PvP at the start, but there will be leaderboards for PvE content where you can outperform each other
- dungeons are designed for groups of 6 players
- there are the Imajinns, small pets with special abilities that you can collect like Pokémon
In 2021, the combat system was also revised and made more dynamic. YouTuber TheLazyPeon took a closer look at the MMORPG in 2020:
What happens in 2022? This is still not entirely clear. Originally, it was said that Blue Protocol would start in Japan in 2021 and then be released globally sometime after that. However, the release in Japan has not yet taken place.
This makes it unlikely, but not impossible, that Blue Protocol will come to us in 2022. However, those interested in the game can occasionally participate in Japanese tests, which do not have English localization.
For whom is this interesting? Blue Protocol primarily targets fans of PvE content and anime MMORPGs. The game makes a strong graphical impression and particularly impresses with its action-packed combat system.
However, the game does not offer a classic MMO experience, as you are only with a maximum of 30 players in each area. The dungeons are also designed for small groups. This may not appeal to everyone.
