In the field of two-dimensional games, Tencent's Shanghai Pokora Studio's latest masterpiece "Star Resonance" has attracted widespread attention. This game not only inherits the worldview of Bandai Namco's "Blue Protocol" IP, but also innovates and localizes in many aspects, bringing players a new gaming experience.

Judging by some of the information that has been released, Star Resonance is a different game from "Blue Protocol", except that the worldview is the same. In September 2023, Tencent signed an agreement with Bandai Namco Games to purchase the rights to the "Blue Protocol" IP. At the time, a number of local media reported that Tencent would develop a mobile game, and it seems that the game made from this time was "Star Resonance".

According to the official website, the game will be tested in the near future.

Bandai Namco's MMORPG Blue Protocol, released in 2023, had a long development cycle and high development costs, but it failed due to problems such as lack of content.

During its February 2024 earnings call, Bandai Namco said that "the performance of newly launched online games was significantly lower than expected."

On August 28, Bandai Namco Online announced that its two-dimensional MMO masterpiece "BLUE PROTOCOL" will end its service in Japan on January 18, 2025, and the cooperation with Amazon Games has also ended, and the release plan of the game in Europe and the United States has been canceled.

With the release of the suspension notice, Muneyoshi Shimooka, the producer of "Blue Protocol", came out to bow and apologize. According to Japanese media information, the game is used as a powerful weapon to compete with Genshin Impact, and has high hopes from Bandai Namco and Japanese players.

Ironically, when the game was in full swing, officials began to ban Chinese IPs en masse, and after a sharp turnaround, the IPs were purchased by Tencent to develop new titles.
