Betawatch: Blue Protocol Star Resonance makes closed beta plans

Eliot Lefebvre 2025-07-18 00:00:00
So snipe.

Why is the game called Blue Protocol? I don’t know, but when it shut down, I was more than a little blue about it. But Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is a resurrection of the game, sort of, and closed beta signups are opening on July 24th. Will I be there? Yes. Obviously. I love the color blue. We don’t know when the test will actually kick off, but I’m prepared to be anything but blue about it.

Speaking of blue… actually, no. Blade & Soul Heroes has nothing to do with blue; it’s just launching globally on September 2nd. That is unrelated to the color blue. You might be blue about the news that Nightingale is pivoting away from official servers, however, since that’s not a sign that everything is going peachy. You may also be blue about BitCraft’s roadmap, but that’s a bit more of a reach. It includes housing! Who could be blue about housing?

In moon-related news, there’s a blue moon that may or may not have seen me standing alone. Current evidence is inconclusive. I wouldn’t be alone if I had soaked myself in the beta news roundup just below, and maybe I’d be less blue if I had looked at all the games in testing below that. We won’t be blue if you let us know of anything that needs an update on our list in the comments. Da boo di, da boo die.

Choose My Adventure: Pantheon Rise of the Fallen’s old school design choices rear their head Nightingale is pivoting from official online servers to private dedicated servers Star Citizen kicks off a new event, adds a new ship, and applies flight model tweaks in alpha 4.2.1 Stars Reach updates its infrastructure and networking, shows off an in-progress graphics update BitCraft lays out its roadmap for 2025, including player housing next week Space shooter Wildgate preps for launch next week and shares plans beyond Faced with a breach of contract lawsuit from fired execs, Krafton is appeasing remaining Subnautica 2 devs Co-op survivalbox Abiotic Factor is launching out of early access on July 22 MMORPG Loftia hasn’t even launched and its devs already have a theoretical end-of-life preservation plan Blue Protocol Star Resonance confirms July 24 closed beta signups in new gameplay trailer Blade and Soul Heroes launches globally September 2 following demos at KCON and Gamescom Equinox Homecoming adds emotes, new items, and several quality-of-life features Loftia assesses alpha feedback, shares work on new hairstyles, props, and the Salvaging District MapleStory-like WonderKing is resurrecting globally after 13 years offline VR MMO Ilysia tests three new zones, adds cosmetics library Mobile MMO Eterspire plans new quests, more events, and a Steam release in its 2025 roadmap Mobile MMO Ragnarok M Classic announces its global release, promises single game currency monetization BitCraft’s weekly update includes a new pet type and the scrapping bench building Monsters and Memories invites everyone to next week’s community alpha test Theorycraft’s colorful MOBA Supervive will leave early access on July 24 Early access co-op sandbox Necesse officially implemented creative mode with full multiplayer support Blue Protocol Star Resonance shows off its character creation in a new video

We consider an MMO to be in open testing if it features free, public signups and will server wipe prior to launch. An MMO is marked in closed testing if it’s running a private test phase that cannot freely be accessed by the general public; it’s often under NDA as well. Early access and crowdfunded MMOs whose tests we deem legitimate will be included. So-called “open beta” soft-launch MMOs with cash shops, no sign of launch in the west, or limited interest for our readers will not be listed, nor will games that are NFT/blockchain scams; we also do not list expansions, with occasional exceptions. Finally, we’ll mark games “malingering” if they’ve been in a certain tier of development for a long time with no clear path to launch. Open Testing Open testing

Yes, MMO gamers, you too can perform the unpaid quality-control work otherwise known as game testing! Check out Massively Overpowered’s Betawatch every week for a run-down of MMOs that are still on the road to launch, even if they appear to have set up a permanent residence in a shed called early access.
