NC announces Astrae Oratio presence at Tokyo Game Show 2026

NC (formerly NCSOFT) has announced that its upcoming anime-style mobile RPG, Astrae Oratio, will feature an exclusive stand at the Tokyo Game Show 2026, held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

Following a successful appearance at Comiket, where official artbooks and merchandise sold out quickly, the developer is opening registration for a closed beta test (CBT) on both iOS and Android platforms. Pre-registration remains open until September 20, 2026.

Art Director In Kim, who works under the pen name ‘hwansang’, described the game’s visual direction using the keyword ‘Lyrical Analog’. The art style aims to blend modern urban fantasy with a nostalgic, classic charm, focusing on creating characters and a world that feel lived-in and authentic.
