Amazon Games also recently announced a collaboration with Embracer Group to create a Lord of the Rings MMO. It’s the latest in Amazon Games’ growing collection of published MMOs that now include New World and the highly successful Lost Ark. That said, it sounds like a beta test is also coming for the game in 2023 and details on how to get in should be available later this year.īlue Protocol’s Western release was first announced at The Game Awards 2022. However, adapting an MMO’s context and world outside of the original region is quite the endeavor and it seems to be one Bandai Namco and Amazon Games feel will take longer than the rest of 2023.
The game is set to release in Japan on June 14. It seems localization is at the core of Blue Protocol’s delay. The rumor that Blue Protocol's Western release was delayed was recently confirmed in a statement from Amazon Games. With continued efforts to localize the deeply immersive stories and build the infrastructure needed to engage in multiplayer adventures and massive online raids against towering monsters, we’re working hard to ensure the best possible experience for our players at launch. Our planned release window is moving to 2024 as we work toward launching Blue Protocol in the West across PC, Xbox X|S, and PlayStation 5. The delay was further confirmed by Amazon Games in a statement sent to PC Gamer:
The delay of Blue Protocol was reported in Japan first, and shared via a Blue Protocol fan Twitter on May 23, 2023. However, it was announced today that the Western release of Blue Protocol will now be pushed back to 2024 as the developers work to polish up the game for its worldwide debut. It was supposed to come sometime in 2023. Blue Protocol was announced as a collaboration by Amazon Games and Bandai Namco to bring the MMO to Western audiences. It looks like one of the next of Amazon Games’ MMO aspirations will waiting a while longer to hit players worldwide.
