Development is handled by Dynamis One, a Korean studio led by Park Byung-rim, who previously served as development producer on Blue Archive, and includes scenario writer isakusan, who also worked on that game. The closed beta test applications begin in August; specific dates and how to participate will be announced later. In addition, Astrae Oratio will be playable at Comiket 108 on August 15-16 at the NC corporate booth, where an official art book and merchandise will be displayed.
