Astraea Oratio

Astrae Oratio is a fantasy RPG in pre-release, with a closed beta test announced for August 2026 and a full launch planned for later that year.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jul 18

Publisher NC and developer Dynamis One are preparing to release Astrae Oratio, a fantasy RPG set in an alternate-history Tokyo in 1989 where players navigate a world of magical bureaucracy. The game is led by former Blue Archive producer Park Byung-rim and writer isakusan. A closed beta test will begin in August 2026, with applications opening that month. This will be the first chance to play the game ahead of its 2026 launch.

In June 2026, a character introduction trailer revealed three new mages: Tanaka Erin, a middle schooler who wields mythological magic; Sansei Runa, a real estate heiress; and Akitsu Akina, a ghost story hunter who fights with cheap snacks. The trailer also hinted at a faction based in Kyoto, expanding the world beyond Tokyo. No further details about the Kyoto faction have been released.
