2024 is starting off hard for fans of MMORPGs. The MMORPG Blue Protocol (PC) was released in Japan in June 2023, and Amazon plans to bring it to Europe in 2024. But as we now learn, the game probably isn’t doing as well as hoped in Japan.

Everything about the release and gameplay of the MMORPG.
Blue Protocol likely disappoints in Japan
This is the new news now: Bandai Namco had its earnings call, and as a reporter from Bloomberg reported, it said revenues were generally disappointing, particularly due to a game that fell short of expectations.
The reporter estimates that it is probably Blue Protocol. Tekken 8, on the other hand, is running better than expected.
Does this really mean Blue Protocol? Yes, the site Siliconera states: Bandai Namco said Dragon Ball and One Piece titles are performing steadily in Japan and abroad, but new “online gaming titles” have fallen far short of expectations.
Blue Protocol is the only online game that Bandai Namco released in the last fiscal year.
Players demand: Games should appear worldwide at the same time
This is the discussion: This is bad news for MMORPG fans. One says:
“Hopefully they don’t close the game. Seriously. It’s the game I’m most waiting for in the West. You just need to get the amount of content in order.”
On Reddit, a user complains: They should have learned from Monster Hunter World. Games should be released worldwide at the same time and not in one region months or years in advance.
Others are disappointed: Blue Protocol looked so good in trailers.
Someone added: The game just didn’t look great, it played great too, but you’ll get banned if you play it from abroad.
Yet another said: He fell in love with Blue Protocol 4 years ago, but every time he looked, the MMORPG was even further away. Now, with the news, he thought about Blue Protocol again for the first time in 7 or 8 months.
It’s hard to say what’s going on if you haven’t really seen the game yet and you’re in the honeymoon-we-only-know-the-trailer phase.
