The application period runs until September 21 at 12:00. The game is set in a fictional 1989 Tokyo where magic exists, and follows an ordinary civil servant called the section chief who manages the administration of magic users living in the city and gets drawn into various incidents. Dynamis One is a Korean developer whose CEO, Park Byung-rim, previously served as development producer on Blue Archive. The scenario writer isakusan, who also worked on Blue Archive, is affiliated with the company. The title was officially announced in April under the codename Project AT. On July 28, the key visual for the clan Akina Ghost Story Research Institute was released, a group that publicly presents itself as a film appreciation club called Slash and Flesh but actually investigates urban legends and ghost stories. Details on the beta test schedule and participation method will be announced later. The game is scheduled to launch in 2026.","whyItMatters":"The closed beta marks the first hands-on opportunity for players to experience the game since its April title reveal, and the involvement of Blue Archive veterans Park Byung-rim and isakusan gives the project a pedigree that the sources highlight.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed beta applications open August 19 at 12:00 JST and run through September 21 at 12:00 JST.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe protagonist is an ordinary civil servant, not a magic user, assigned to the Special Ward Office, an administrative agency that manages magic users in Tokyo.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePark Byung-rim, CEO of Dynamis One, previously served as development producer on Blue Archive; scenario writer isakusan, also a Blue Archive veteran, is affiliated with the company.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe game was announced in April under the codename Project AT, with its official title revealed at that time.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOn July 28, the key visual for the clan Akina Ghost Story Research Institute was released; the group fronts as a film appreciation club called Slash and Flesh but investigates urban legends and ghost stories.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDetails on the beta test schedule and participation method will be announced later via the official X account and website.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe game is scheduled to launch in 2026.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Astrae Oratio, the new RPG from Blue Archive veterans at Dynamis One, opens closed beta applications August 19.
