Astrae Oratio is a new smartphone occult magic RPG from South Korean developer Dynamis One and NC Corporation. It is set for release in 2027 on iOS and Android, in a fictional 1989 Tokyo where magic and administration coexist and magic users hold territory by ward, settling disputes through duels. The player is a magicless civil servant called the Chief, who works for the Special Ward Agency and arbitrates conflicts between magic users.
NC held a media preview on the first business day of Tokyo Game Show 2026, September 17, at Makuhari Messe Hall 7. Game director Im Jeong-gyu and art director Kim In took the stage, and the team showed the Prologue Digest PV and the Minato Ward Chapter Episode 0 MV. Combat is turn-based with real-time elements: players spend Action Points until the enemy acts, read enemy icons, and respond with normal, combat, counter, or ultimate skills. About 30 playable characters are planned at release, grouped into roughly 10 factions.
The game was also shown at Comic Market 108, its first booth exhibition, and closed beta recruitment opened on August 19 with applications open until September 21. That closed beta covers an introductory slice, including the prologue scenario and part of the Free Time system, which director Lim Jonggyu described as a reinterpretation of 1990s romance simulation games. A dress-up feature is planned.
Lim, also romanized as Im Jeong-gyu, gave interviews to GAME Watch and Inside at TGS 2026. He said the battle system draws on competitive fighting games, that the team chose a one-on-one format so a single character reads clearly on a phone screen, and that the overall strategic split is formation 7 and in-battle play 3. Teams consist of three characters, with six roles: tank, attacker, sweeper, supporter, breaker, and anchor.

Dynamis One and NC Corporation are showing Astrae Oratio, a new smartphone occult magic RPG set in 1989 Tokyo, at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture from September 17 to 20, 2026. Game director Lim Jonggyu gave interviews to GAME Watch and Inside at the event. The game is scheduled for release in 2027.

A closed beta test will cover an introductory slice, including the prologue scenario and part of the Free Time system, which Lim described as a reinterpretation of 1990s romance simulation games.
