Blue Protocol will be ending its service in Japan on January 18, 2025, as announced by Bandai Namco. In line with the announcement of the shut down, Blue Protocol's worldwide release, in partnership with Amazon Games, also got canceled altogether. The decision to shut down Blue Protocol, as explained by Bandai, was due to the company's inability to provide a service that will meet fans' expectations down the line.

In an official statement, Bandai expressed their regret over the cancelation of the game: "We have decided that it is beyond our capabilities to continue providing a service that satisfies everyone." The company also noted their disappointment in not being able to continue development for the global release with Amazon Games.

As the game approaches its termination, Bandai said it plans to continue supporting Blue Protocol with updates and new content until its final day. Though, it should be noted that players will no longer be able to purchase, nor request to refund, the in-game currency, Rose Orbs, but Bandai will distribute 5,000 Rose Orbs to players on the first day of each month from September 2024 until January 2025, along with 250 Rose Orbs daily. Additionally, players can also get the season pass for free starting with the recently released Season 9 pass, and the final update, Chapter 7, is scheduled for release on December 18, 2024.
