Astrae Oratio is a turn-based magic RPG for smartphones developed by Dynamis One and serviced by NC. The setup is an alternate 1989 Tokyo where magic users live in secret and hold territory by ward, and the player is a magicless civil servant, the Chief, at the Special Ward Agency who arbitrates disputes between them. Dynamis One showed the game at Comic Market 108 and opened closed beta recruitment on August 19, with applications running until September 21, 2026.
At Tokyo Game Show 2026, held at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 20, game director Lim Jonggyu and art director Kim In presented the Prologue Digest PV and the Minato Ward Chapter Episode 0 MV. Lim said the battle system draws on competitive fighting games and that the team chose a one-on-one format so a single character reads clearly on a phone screen. Teams are three characters drawn from six roles (tank, attacker, sweeper, supporter, breaker, anchor), and Lim put the strategic split at formation 7 and in-battle play 3. A release is scheduled for 2027 on iOS and Android, with about 30 playable characters planned at launch across roughly 10 factions.
The closed beta ran from October 2 at noon to October 6 at noon on iOS and Android for lottery winners, with payments disabled and all data reset at the end. That build carried three main stories and two mini stories plus enhancement, free time, gacha, and raid content, with 18 playable characters, fewer than the roughly 30 planned for release. A CBT report described comedic daily life with magic users giving way to a story that sits close to them, with strong visuals and rough edges still visible in the first test.
The next public step is Anime x Game Festival 2026, which runs December 4 to 6 at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. NC joins as main sponsor and takes the largest exhibiting area, 150 booths, to show Astrae Oratio in its first playable demo in Korea.
