Blue Protocol is an upcoming MMORPG developed and published by Bandai Namco, which was announced back in June 2019.

Set on the planet of Regnus, the world of Blue Protocol is filled with a mysterious light called Engram. An ancient civilization, known as the Bafarians, has been relegated to nothing more than myths and stories, and their once-proud cities are now reduced to ancient dilapidated ruins. Blue Protocol will be coming to Japan-only on Early Spring 2023.
