Shanghai Putuo Information Industry Park. Until the early 2020s, this name was likely familiar to many. It was a hub where several Chinese gaming companies gathered, including miHoYo before the launch of the HoYoverse brand and Hypergryph, the developer of Arknights. While some of those companies have since moved elsewhere to accommodate their growth, others have stayed and expanded within the park. Manjuu Games was one of the latter.
After achieving sensational popularity in Japan and China with Azur Lane, Manjuu Games unveiled its new title, 'Azur Promilia,' back in 2024. By seamlessly translating the character design sensibilities carried over from Azur Lane into 3D, and presenting a wondrous world where characters coexist with adorable creatures known as 'Kibos', Azur Promilia emerged as one of the most anticipated next-generation open-world games. With a recent publishing agreement with Nexon and a domestic CBT, Azur Promilia is drawing closer to Korean players. We paid a direct visit to the headquarters of Manjuu Games, where the game is being developed.
