The Western version of Blue Protocol, which will be slightly different from the Japanese version, was initially due to be released this year but has now been delayed. So when is Blue Protocol releasing in the West?
Blue Protocol Western release date
Blue Protocol is set to release in 2024, according to its Western website. This 2024 release window was also confirmed by the game’s Global Team back in May in a blog post on the game’s site.
“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,” the post read.
The blog post also mentioned that people can sign up for the closed beta for a chance to play the game earlier.
Blue Protocol Western release date details: Regions, publishers, and platforms
Blue Protocol will have different publishers depending on what region you play in. According to the Blue Protocol Communication Deep Dive #6, a live stream hosted by the Blue Protocol devs in December 2022, the Western version of the game will be published by Amazon Games. The Western version will include launches in five major regions:
- North America
- South America
- Western Europe
- Australia
- New Zealand
If you’re wondering if you can play with your friends who are in other regions of the game, unfortunately, you won’t be able to. This is because you cannot server-hop to other regions, which means that if you play under the Japanese region, you won’t be able to play with the players in NA region.
For platform releases, Blue Protocol will also be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
