Bandai Namco Confirms Blue Protocol Global Release Following Japanese Launch

blue protocol main art bannerBandai Namco is gearing up for the start of the Blue Protocol Japanese CBT next week. But the question currently weighing on western gamers’ minds is when the MMORPG will launch in North America.

Fans on Reddit translated a recent livestream confirming a North American, European release, and global release.

“In the interviews, we have said that it was intended to go global from the start. But CBT, as it follows [the closed alpha test], we will test CBT in Japan for feedback purposes. Will it be global or be certain regions, we can’t really say right now. (They will probably start with EU and NA first.) We’re still preparing but Japan will release first. Since it is designed [to be] very Japanese and will be interesting to a global audience, we don’t want to represent this style half-assed to the rest of the world.”

We’re still waiting on a definite launch date or period. In the meantime, you can check out the full livestream below. I mentioned it was in Japanese right?
