Blue Protocol Franchise Lead Discusses Western Censorship, Global Release Day, And Monetization In New Interview
Shout out to the Blue Protocol Database for this one.
We got some juicy details for you Blue Protocol fans out there.
And by we, I mean the Blue Protocol Database, which conducted an exclusive interview with Mike Zadorojny, the franchise lead at Amazon Games for the upcoming free-to-play online action RPG. He discussed various aspects of the game and addressed concerns from the community — such as explaining that although there might be some censorship in the Western version of the game, the goal is to maintain Executive Producer Sokichi Shimook’s vision while also considering cultural and regulatory differences. These changes include modifying character creation and outfits to make them more culturally acceptable in the West.
Furthermore, regarding the delayed global release to 2024, Zadorojny stated that the team is focused on quality and player feedback, which has impacted the timeline. The goal is to be as close as possible to the Japanese version in terms of patches and updates, but localization and technical challenges may influence the timing.
As for the biggie, monetization, the Western version will include the Battle Pass system and Founders Packs. The Gacha box system, called The Capsulator, will have a cap that guarantees a top rate drop after a certain number of pulls without one to ensure fairness and the game will avoid a pay-to-win environment. He said the team's core values focus on providing a fun and fair monetization system, where cosmetic items will not affect the gameplay experience.
In conclusion, Zadorojny emphasized the team's excitement for Blue Protocol and the long-term goal of building a global brand with the game. They are committed to maintaining the vision and legacy of the game while extending it beyond just the game itself. The community's feedback is vital to them, and they aim to create an inclusive and engaging experience for players in the West.
