After months of speculation, Bandai Namco has officially confirmed that Blue Protocol: Star Resonance will make its worldwide debut in October 2025. The announcement follows a series of closed beta tests that kicked off in late August, giving players their first extended look at the ambitious online action RPG.

Unlike the original Blue Protocol, which was built with a more traditional MMO framework, Star Resonance aims to strike a balance between accessible action combat and large-scale online exploration. Early impressions from testers suggest that the game keeps the anime-inspired art direction that defined its predecessor but refines its systems to be friendlier to newcomers.

Bandai Namco’s decision to roll out Star Resonance across both PC and mobile platforms at launch signals a clear push for a broader global audience. Players on Steam, the Epic Games Store, iOS, and Android will all be able to jump in when the game goes live, with cross-platform progression planned from day one.

The closed beta has already given a taste of what’s to come. Participants reported fast-paced combat that feels closer to an action RPG than a traditional MMO, with dodge mechanics, flashy skill chains, and cooperative boss fights serving as highlights. Community hubs and social spaces also play a central role, offering places for players to team up, trade, or simply show off their character builds.

What makes October’s launch particularly significant is that it marks the first time the series has had a truly global rollout. The original Blue Protocol saw a staggered release, with Japanese players gaining access years before the West. With Star Resonance, Bandai Namco is skipping that delay entirely, allowing players around the world to dive in together.

As for the exact release day, Bandai Namco has yet to reveal the date, but expectations are that it will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime, pre-registration remains open, and the developer has confirmed that additional beta invites may be distributed as the servers are stress-tested ahead of launch.

For fans of anime-inspired RPGs, October is shaping up to be a landmark month. Blue Protocol: Star Resonance promises not just another online adventure, but a second chance at establishing a franchise that has long carried potential. If the beta feedback is any indication, the game may very well find its footing this time around.
