Blue Protocol: Star Resonance Season 2 Update Overview

The Chinese version of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance ushered in its second season, "Illusory Blooming Dream," on October 30th, concluding the Void Season. While the global version is anticipated to follow suit on December 12, 2025, the live CN client offers a comprehensive preview of the upcoming content. Today, LDshop provides a detailed analysis of these core changes, outlining what global players can expect in the future.

 

New Story, Visual Upgrades, and Season Plan

This update on the CN client followed a phased release model, with content rolling out in waves throughout the season. Accordingly, the development team advised all players to spend any Season 1 exclusive currencies before the season transition.

Story-wise, the new chapter continued after the infiltration of "Ethersteria," with players pursuing a mysterious threat known as the "Flower Calamity" alongside new companions like Fafala and Boyce. The game also received significant visual enhancements, particularly comprehensive upgrades to character facial animations, making expressions more vivid and detailed—an improvement especially noticeable on characters like Irona.

 

New Dungeons and Raids

➤Six New Dungeons:

The Illusory Dream Season on the CN client brought a complete refresh to challenge dungeons, including Unstable Space and Extreme Space, offering equipment with item level 120 and above.

·As the Fallen Deepens: Features illusion bloom mirrored telegraphs and barrier-breaking mechanics.

·Mind Serpent Chase: Splits players into two teams across three arenas tuned for DPS intake, tanking, and healing.

·Spirit of the Forest: Focuses on totem protection to avoid wipes, with trapped soul mechanics during transitions.

 

➤Three New Raids:

Starting from the 5th week of the season on the CN client, three new raids became available:

·Transforming Sea: Utilized escort and energy suppression mechanics using walls against knockoffs.

·Two Kings Foot Armor: Requires balancing HP across realms with floor devices determining the favored king.

·Flower Stone Blade: Features an animated sword boss that enlarges, requiring dance mechanics to stop world-ender attacks.

The Void Season raids remained available for challenge until the new raids launched.
