Bandai Namco's MMORPG Blue Protocol faces challenges with player retention despite extra development time.
To address this, Chapter 5 of the main story has been released, focusing on a festival's success. Additionally, numerous balance changes and quality of life improvements have been announced.
Japanese players express concerns about sluggish servers and difficulty finding quests due to dwindling population. While a big update addresses some issues, players still criticize the lack of bug fixes and initial gameplay quality.
Speculation about Blue Protocol's state arose after Bandai Namco's investor meeting revealed reduced earnings partially due to investment in the game, alongside the cancellation of five other games in development.
