Bandai Namco has released the first details and media for its upcoming online PC action RPG Blue Protocol. The game is being developed by a team featuring members of Bandai Namco Online and Bandai Namco Studios.

Blue Protocol is set on the planet Regnus, which used to be ruled by a group of god-like beings known as the Bapharian Divines. The game is set many years after this period, with the remains of the Bapharian civilisation relegated to treasures and ruins. The planet is filled with a mystical light known as Engram, and supposedly harbours a dark secret referred to as the Planetary Beast.

A closed alpha test will be available in Japan that will grant access to the game’s character creator and four playable classes: Aegis Fighter, Twin Striker, Blast Archer, and Spell Caster. The test will be available from 19:00 JST to 22:59 JST on July 26, 2019, and from 20:00 JST to 23:59 JST on July 27, 2019, and July 28, 2019. No announcement has been made regarding a potential western release.
