Manjuu

Manjuu is in closed beta for its open-world RPG Azure Promilia, co-published with Yostar, with the test running through July 10, 2026 on PC.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated just now

Manjuu, the developer behind Azur Lane, is testing its next major title, Azure Promilia, through a closed beta that began July 2, 2026. The beta runs for nine days on PC, with the full game planned for Windows, iOS, and Android as a free-to-play title. Applications for the test opened in June, with a lottery system if demand exceeded capacity.

Azure Promilia represents a genre shift for Manjuu. The game is an open-world RPG where players explore the continent of Promilia, befriend creatures called Kibo through a Star Link mechanic that requires reducing enemy HP without defeating them, and use them in battle and on a farm. The combat system includes parries, dodges, Just Evades, Evade Counters, and Stance Break mechanics that double damage on staggered enemies. A three-person party system allows switchable characters, each with unique attack actions and skills. Over 180 Kibo were available in the CBT, with a Kibo Fight mode that plays like a card game. The beta also includes farm building, crafting for weapons and armor, fishing, and a photo mode.

The story follows a protagonist who is a Star Visitor with amnesia, accompanied by a companion named Symphoria and a fairy named Lumie. The CBT is the first public hands-on opportunity for the game, which has no announced release date beyond the beta period.
