Amazon Games and Bandai Namco Roll Out Closed Technical Test for Blue Protocol
Amazon Games has partnered with Bandai Namco Online and Bandai Namco Studios to bring a Closed Technical Test for their new PC title, Blue Protocol. The test will run from November 8th at 2 PM PT to November 10th at 2 PM PT, and is open to players in North America and Europe.
What to Expect in the Test
Players selected for this invite-only test will have a chance to dive into the vibrant world of Regnas, exploring diverse landscapes ranging from bustling cities to lush plains. The test aims to provide a first look at Blue Protocol, where players can customize characters, explore dungeons, and engage in battles against world bosses.
Server Infrastructure and Gameplay
The primary focus of this Closed Technical Test is the server infrastructure. Utilizing a single Megaserver, the game promises seamless transitions between regional servers, facilitating a smooth gameplay experience. The Megaserver will prioritize matchmaking with players from the same region, expanding the search to other regions only when necessary.
Participants can expect to engage with many core mechanics and activities during the test. You'll be able to complete the game's first chapter, experiment with the five original classes like the dual-axe-wielding Twin Striker and the element-manipulating Spell Weaver, and even adapt to different challenges by switching classes without changing your character.
