Blue Protocol Title

A new generation of online game graphics

Blue Protocol is touted as having “overwhelming graphics, like an anime movie realized in-game.” Accordingly, the screenshot has a color palette reminiscent of the vivid blues and greens found in the 2016 hit anime Your Name. There is also a gigantic, portal-like stone structure that resembles the landscape designs seen in the Xenoblade series. Like the recently announced Bandai Namco title Tales of Arise, Blue Protocol will be using Unreal Engine 4 to realize its graphical ambitions.

The characters appear color-coordinated, suggesting that they operate in a team. They are carrying fantasy weapons, which suggests that melee will be a part of this action title. The subheading for the game also states that you will “march on with friends and strangers, and defeat foes beyond your might,” perhaps suggesting a cooperative PvE play experience.

Although details on Blue Protocol are currently scarce, the company has promised more about this online action RPG in the coming days.
