Remember Blue Protocol? The hyped Amazon Games MMO featuring an anime aesthetic and tons of social systems. Well, that game got canned a while ago, but Tencent-backed developer Bokura recently revived it into Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, which managed to attract a boatload of players with mixed reactions out the gate.

Blue Protocol: Star Resonance came out on Steam earlier this week and almost immediately courted over 94,000 concurrent players to race capybaras, fights monsters with your friends, and take part in mini-games that wouldn't look out of place in Genshin Impact.
