Star Resonance is an action-combat MMORPG based on traditional party roles (DPS, tank, healer) and open-world exploration. It provides for real-time dodging and combo-driven fights alongside gathering and social systems such as trading and guilds.[4][1]
The game uses a free-to-play model with microtransactions, purchased with numerous in-game currencies available in "bound" (earned in-game) and "unbound" (purchased) forms. It includes gacha mechanics for cosmetic items (costumes, mounts), convenience items that speed up progress, and items that provide combat abilities.[5][6]
Development
[edit]Blue Protocol: Star Resonance was developed by Shanghai Bokura Network Technology and published by A-Plus Japan.[2] A revival of the discontinued 2023 game Blue Protocol, it was announced at Tokyo Game Show 2025. It was produced by Chen Min.[7]
The game was announced for a Western release in 2025 after the shutdown of Bandai Namco's 2023 MMO video game Blue Protocol.[8] Bokura's project, initially a mobile-only entry in the same universe, was expanded into a distinct cross-platform MMO, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance.[4]
Star Resonance was released worldwide on October 9th, 2025, as a cross-platform release for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Android, and iOS devices.[1]
