Free of charge, Blue Protocol will be compatible with PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 upon launching during the second half of 2023.
Co-developed by Bandai Namco Online Inc. and Bandai Namco Studios, the game is set in the world of Regnas, in which players combat against the mysterious light called Flux to defeat powerful foes.
The characters offered in the game are fully customizable. Players can choose between Blade Warden, the valiant Twin Striker, the versatile Keen Strider, the multifaceted Spell Weaver or the damage-dealing Foe Breaker.
