On May 15, 2025, fans of anime and MMOs received exhilarating news: Blue Protocol: Star Resonance—a highly anticipated title from Shanghai Bokura Network Technology—is set to make its Western debut in 2025 through publisher A Plus. Following its successful beta in China, excitement is reaching fever pitch!

Bokura's Vision for Star Resonance

Roy, the founder of Bokura and a veteran game producer behind titles like Dragon Nest Mobile, addressed the community’s most pressing questions in a recent Q&A session.

Target Audience and Content Focus

When asked about the target audience, Roy didn't hold back. He revealed that many team members are anime enthusiasts, and they aim to create an MMO that blends anime aesthetics with deep gameplay. "We want to cater to players who appreciate immersive MMOs in vibrant, anime-styled worlds!" The game will primarily focus on a hybrid of PvE and casual gameplay, with plans to expand based on community feedback.

Monetization Strategy: No Pay-to-Win!

Monetization concerns are front and center for Western players, and Roy addressed this head-on. He assured players that while the game includes pay-for-convenience options, none will grant exclusive advantages. Instead, all progression items can be earned through gameplay, maintaining a fair ecosystem.

Progression Content For Everyone

Roy emphasized that combat and progression are cornerstones of the MMO experience. They've designed a battle system that's accessible yet challenging, featuring a range of content from casual fishing and building to high-stakes dungeons and raids. Seasonal updates will introduce new classes and events to keep gameplay fresh for both hardcore and casual gamers.

Streamlined Progression Systems

To avoid overwhelming new players, Bokura aims to keep progression systems streamlined—expanding existing features rather than piling on new mechanics. Roy mentioned, "We want all players to jump back into the game effortlessly, whether they're novices or veterans." This approach promises to keep experiences familiar while providing meaningful growth opportunities.

Dynamic Events and Exploration

Players can look forward to dynamic and unscheduled events designed to promote exploration and player interaction. While the focus is currently on refining core gameplay, plans are underway to introduce these exciting features.

Exciting Collaborations on the Horizon!

The community can also look forward to collaborations with popular anime franchises. Roy commented, "We want our partnerships to resonate with what our players love. Stay tuned for surveys to help decide!"

Housing System and Customization

For those who enjoy creative expression, the housing system will be available at launch! Players can manage their own homes and invite friends to participate in various activities, including farming and crafting. Customization options will be plentiful, allowing for a personalized touch.

Character Creation and Future Updates

The character creation tool might become available before launch, allowing players to start designing their avatars in advance! The community can expect regular feedback opportunities and development streams for continuous engagement.

Launch Details

Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is set for launch in 2025 on iOS, Android, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. As anticipation grows, Roy hinted that beta testing for global players is on the horizon, promising fans won’t have to wait long.
