Bandai Namco Online and Bandai Namco Studios have announced that their online RPG “Blue Protocol” has surpassed 600,000 players. In addition, the maximum number of simultaneously connected players is said to have reached 200,000.
“Blue Protocol” is an online action RPG by “PROJECT SKY BLUE” by Bandai Namco Online and Bandai Namco Studios. The stage of this work is a fantasy world colored with mysterious light engrams. The protagonist, the player’s alter ego, is a person with amnesia. In this work, the player is set off on an adventure with her after being helped by the demi-human girl Feste. This work is a large-scale online game, and adventures while other players live in the world. Explore, hunt, raid, craft, and more.
This work was released on June 14th after repeated postponements. Although it is a basic free-to-play game, more than 600,000 people have already played this work. It is also noteworthy that the number of concurrent players reached 200,000 at one point. As a reference, looking at the Steam charts, there are only a handful of games that reach 200,000 people, albeit temporarily, which is an impressive number (SteamDB). It should also be noted that this game is still only available in Japan. It seems that these numbers were recorded by releasing only on Japanese PCs while refraining from expanding in Asia and Europe. These numbers are said to be the fastest in the history of Bandai Namco’s online game business.
The following message has been received from the development and operation team through a press release:

And I would like to express my deep gratitude and gratitude to all of you for playing “BLUE PROTOCOL”.
