First, the Bandai Namco-produced title aims for an early Spring 2023 release date in Japan (no particular month was disclosed). Meanwhile, the game will have a network test on January 14th and 16th, 2023. The updates don’t stop there, though, as The Game Awards, which happens on December 8th, will have a Blue Protocol announcement. Something notable about the second part is that, in the stream replay, the Game Awards section was spoken in English, and mentioned overseas fans. If anything, it could very easily reveal an English dub or maybe more platforms that Blue Protocol will launch on, but we won’t know until The Game Awards. Lastly, Blue Protocol’s PC specs were disclosed, which are as follows (and can be found here):
