Blue Protocol’s Japanese release officially launched on June 14, and if you’re outside of Japan, navigating the pre-registration process can be a bit tricky. This guide will walk you through each step, from account setup to VPN use, ensuring you’re ready to dive in.

Step 1: Use a VPN To access Blue Protocol from outside Japan, you’ll need a VPN. Connect to a Japanese server (preferably Tokyo). This step is crucial, as the game and its website are region-locked and require a Japanese IP address.

Popular options include ExpressVPN, but there are also free alternatives. Any VPN that offers stable connections to Japan will suffice.

Step 2: Visit the Official Site Go to bluedashprotocol.com while your VPN is connected to Japan. You should see an orange pre-registration button on the homepage. If your browser is in Japanese, use built-in translation tools (e.g., Chrome’s auto-translate) to help navigate.

Step 3: Create a Bandai Namco Account If you don’t have a Bandai Namco account, click the “Login” button, then select “Sign Up.”

• Enter your email, password, and confirm them.
• Set your region to Asia > Japan.
• Complete the registration form and verify your email.

Once you’re verified, log in to your Bandai Namco account.
