「BLUE PROTOCOL」サービス終了のお知らせ
誠に勝手ながら2025年1月18日にサービス終了させていただくことになりました。
突然のお知らせとなりましたこと深くお詫び申し上げます。今後のアップデートスケジュール詳細は、お知らせをご確認くださいhttps://t.co/eXy9s9q3GI#ブルプロ #BlueProtocol— BLUE PROTOCOL (@BLUEPROTOCOL_JP) August 28, 2024
The online action RPG "BLUE PROTOCOL" announced that its service will conclude on Saturday, January 18, 2025.
This title was first announced in June 2019 as a core content of "Project Sky Blue" and was released in June 2023 after a long period and many twists and turns.
Fans have expressed sadness over the approximately one and a half years of service.
Comment from Project Sky Blue Executive Producer Shimaoka
We want to deliver an experience as if you've stepped into an anime world.
The project has challenged itself to create a world where each player can enjoy an adventure as the protagonist of an anime.
Since the announcement, we have received immense anticipation, and many of you have played and supported us in various ways, some since the initial report of CαT in 2019. However, due to our limitations, we have determined that it is difficult to continuously provide a service that will satisfy everyone, and thus we have decided to terminate the service.

Schedule Until Service Termination Released
The schedule until service termination has been released on the YouTube channel "BLUE PROTOCOL" and the "BLUE PROTOCOL" Official Website.

First, with the update on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, the sale of new paid Rose Orbs will be suspended.
However, new costumes and mounts will continue to be added and re-released until the service ends, so free Rose Orbs and Gasha Tickets will be distributed regularly.
Updates will also be performed regularly until the service ends, adding notable new raid boss "Forest Reaper" and the final main quest Chapter 7 "Dragon King," among others.
For a detailed schedule until service termination, please check the "BLUE PROTOCOL" Official Website.
Amazon Games Version Also Canceled
The Amazon Games version of "BLUE PROTOCOL" was being developed in parallel with the current service operation.
It was planned for release in North America, Europe, South America, Australia, and New Zealand through Amazon Games, but with the termination of the Japanese version of "BLUE PROTOCOL," the release has been canceled.
This title, a new online action RPG originating from Japan, had attracted attention for its charming anime-style world and characters.
This announcement has also come as unwelcome news to overseas players who had continuously pleaded "When is the global version coming?" with every new information release for the Japanese version.
Comment from "BLUE PROTOCOL" Official Website
With the termination of the Japanese version, the development of the Amazon Games version can no longer continue. Therefore, after discussions with Amazon Games, we have decided to cancel the release of this title in Western regions. We sincerely apologize.
Amazon Games had high expectations for BLUE PROTOCOL, and we had been working closely together in good faith until now, so we are also very disappointed.
