Release Date and Plans:
The Western release of Blue Protocol has been officially delayed to Q2 2024. Amazon Games and Bandai Namco have confirmed this decision to ensure a high-quality experience for players. The game will be available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The closed beta test is planned for later this year, allowing selected players to try the game and provide feedback. We expect another delay as Q2 is coming to an end in a few weeks with no clear news from Amazon Games.
