Dynamis One is developing the fantasy RPG Astrae Oratio, set in an alternate-history 1989 Tokyo, with a closed beta test scheduled for August 2026 and the full game expected to launch later that year.
Dynamis One, a studio led by former Blue Archive producer Park Byung-rim and writer isakusan, has been steadily building toward the release of its first major title, Astrae Oratio. The game is a fantasy RPG set in a fictional version of Tokyo in 1989, where players navigate a world of magical bureaucracy. After an initial teaser video in June 2026 that showed battle scenes and scenario direction, publisher NC announced a closed beta test in July, with applications opening in August. The beta will give players the first hands-on experience with the game ahead of its planned 2026 launch.
The studio's progress has been marked by a steady rollout of promotional materials. The June 2026 teaser PV was the first extended look at actual gameplay, moving beyond concept art and character reveals. Alongside the PV, Dynamis One and NC released a new main visual and added world-building content, including four-panel comics and character stamps, to the teaser site and social media. These materials suggest the studio is approaching a final build, with the closed beta serving as a key milestone before the full release.
Both stories position Dynamis One as a studio defined by its roots in the Blue Archive creative team, applying its experience to a distinct fantasy setting. The closed beta announcement in July 2026 is the most concrete step yet toward bringing Astrae Oratio to players, with the 2026 release window still intact.

NC exhibited a visual booth for the new RPG Astraea Oratio at Comiket, where a pre-release teaser art book sold out. Art Director Kim In discussed the visual direction in a written interview, explaining the 1989 Tokyo setting stems from a longing for nostalgia and a move away from common near-future or Western settings. The visuals aim for a lyrical analog feel.
