Tencent’s highly anticipated MMORPG, Star Resonance, made a strong impression at Tencent’s SPARK 2025 event with an in-depth look at its character creation system and new gameplay footage. The presentation highlighted the game’s extensive customization options, giving players unprecedented creative freedom in designing their characters.
The visual showcase offered a promising glimpse into the game’s world of Regnas, with footage demonstrating the environments and gameplay mechanics that players can expect when the title launches. This preview follows news that Star Resonance will enter Closed Beta testing on April 24, 2025, under the “Resonance Test” label.
Star Resonance is being developed as a collaboration between Tencent Games and Shanghai Bokura Network Technology, based on Bandai Namco’s Blue Protocol IP, which was discontinued in January 2025. The game will feature seven unique character classes, twelve combat styles, and full parkour movement capabilities alongside gliding mechanics for traversal.

Moreover, the Star Resonance presentation was just one highlight among updates for 46 titles showcased at SPARK 2025. Tencent’s annual flagship conference brought together gaming communities to celebrate innovations across the company’s in-house studios, publishing division, and invested partners. Additionally, other announcements included content updates, upcoming esports tournaments, and new titles designed for global audiences, reinforcing Tencent’s commitment to expanding its IP portfolio and delivering quality gaming experiences worldwide.
As the April 24th Closed Beta approaches, anticipation continues to build for this ambitious MMORPG. With its combination of fast-paced combat, deep exploration mechanics, and social features, Star Resonance appears poised to carve out its own identity in the competitive MMORPG landscape while honoring the foundation laid by Blue Protocol.
