On September 17, NC hosted the first public playable demo of its new title, 'Astrae Oratio', at Tokyo Game Show 2026.
'Astrae Oratio' is a Shindenki magic RPG published by NC and developed by Dynamis One. Set in a world where reality and magic coexist, players take on the role of a "Chief" civil servant at the "Special District Office," an administrative agency managing magicians, meeting various characters and handling incidents. The game is scheduled for release in 2027.
NC set up a dedicated booth for 'Astrae Oratio' at the venue, designing the demo area around the theme of the in-game Special District Office. Visitors can try both Scenario Mode and Combat Mode.
The booth stage features the in-game "Tokyo Tower" and a large LED screen. A "Scenario Screening" event introducing the game's early storyline is also being held. Additionally, an exhibition space utilizing Samsung Electronics' glasses-free 3D monitor, "Spatial Signage," was prepared to showcase three-dimensional character displays.
On the first day of the event, NC held a media preview where Dynamis One Game Director Lim Jong-kyu and Art Director Kim In introduced the game's key features and development direction.
Director Lim said, "We aim to unite elements like story, art, and combat into a single completed game and expand it through live service," adding, "Starting with this first demo at Tokyo Game Show, please look forward to watching a game that grows like a serialized story with new narratives and characters."
NC plans to gather user feedback through Tokyo Game Show and a global closed beta test (CBT) scheduled within 2026 to refine and polish the game.
