But what we didn’t know – we merely speculated, was that they are also potentially wanting to release this cross-platform with consoles as well. Anyone that claimed otherwise was delusional. We knew they were targeting a worldwide release for Blue Protocol. This is the CEO himself claiming that he wants both Gundam Evolution and Blue Protocol, including future online games to not only be accessible “worldwide,” but also be playable on more than a single platform, and be entirely free to play. In his words, “ the basic strategy for realizing our goal of “online games from Japan to the world” is “worldwide,” “multi-device,” and “free to play.” It is going to be cross-platform compatible between PC and Consoles, and is 100% entirely free to play.īut what does that have to do with Blue Protocol? Masataka confirmed that both of the games listed – Gundam Evolution AND Blue Protocol are being developed in the same way. Gundam Evolution launched Globally – around the world, with the exception of a few countries. Gundam Evolution launched to over 50,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, and is rolling out on PS4, PS5, XBox One, and the XBox Series X|S on November 30th. Gundam Evolution was their primary focus, as it was the closest to successful completion and arguably the easier of the two titles to finalize development of. These were, in his words, “ Online games from Japan, to the world.”įor those of you unaware, Gundam Evolution launched around the world on September 21st.

In the interview, Masataka went on state that the video games they have been focused on completing consisted of Gundam Evolution, and Blue Protocol. I was linked to an article on The Blue Protocol Database website that linked to an interview with Sekiguchi Masataka, the President and CEO of Bandai Namco, the studio behind Blue Protocol, Elden Ring, Tales of Arise, God Eater, Scarlet Nexus, Code Vein and so many more incredible games.
