Betawatch: Blue Protocol postpones global launch to next year

Can a game break your heart even before it’s released? Yes. yes it can A typical example: Blue log shattered what little was left of me by pushing back its global launch to 2024, with the Japanese launch taking place on June 14th. That’s probably not surprising given the delays we’ve already had, but it doesn’t mean we have to be happy about it. I’ve made up my mind to be honest kitschy about it, in fact. I wanted the game now.

Of course we don’t have to break hearts. You could break in zombies – sorry, “infected” – at any time dawn when it launches on June 15th. It even includes a dead-eyed Will Smith digital simulacrum, although sadly it doesn’t include a game mode in which you take on the role of Will giving the ever-loving troll Chris Rock in a variety of outfits. (I can only assume that Chris Rock’s lawyers would not have approved of this mode.)

But this week there were more beta stories that didn’t involve any slaps at all. You can check them out right below, and for even more games in review, check out the list below. As always, let us know in the comments if something has skipped testing phases unnoticed!

We consider it an MMO open Check out if it offers free, public logins and wipes the server before starting. An MMO is marked closed Check whether it is a private test phase that is not freely accessible to the public; it is also often subject to a non-disclosure agreement. Includes early access and crowdfunded MMOs that we believe are legitimate to test. So-called “open beta” soft-launch MMOs with cash shops, no sign of a western launch, or limited interest to our readers are not listed, nor are games that are NFT/blockchain scams ; We also don’t list any extensions, with the occasional exception. Finally, we flag games as “false” when they have been at a certain stage of development for a long time and do not have a clear route to release.
