Bandai Namco and Amazon Cancel Blue Protocol MMO

Japanese servers to shut down in January 2025, with no plans for a Western release

Blue Protocol, an anime-inspired MMO, will end service in Japan on January 18, 2025.
The game's Western release, initially planned with Amazon Games, has been canceled.
Bandai Namco cited an inability to provide a satisfactory service for the decision.
Players in Japan will receive monthly in-game currency and free battle passes until shutdown.
The game faced criticism for empty worlds and missing content during its beta phase.
