Game director Lim Jonggyu gave interviews to GAME Watch and Inside at the event. The game is scheduled for release in 2027. Lim said the battle system draws on competitive fighting games and that the team chose a one-on-one format so a single character reads clearly on a phone screen rather than splitting the player's attention. Teams consist of three characters, with six roles: tank, attacker, sweeper, supporter, breaker, and anchor. Lim put the overall strategic split at formation 7 and in-battle play 3. 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. A dress-up feature is planned.","whyItMatters":"Lim frames the whole design around a single constraint, the phone screen, and says formation outweighs in-battle play, so the closed beta is the first test of whether that seven-to-three balance holds up.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tokyo Game Show 2026 demo build is the first public playable showing for Astrae Oratio, and NC Corporation\u0026#39;s booth included a Tokyo Tower display. Director Lim Jonggyu said the development team drew on light novels and manga such as Shakugan no Shana, A Certain Magical Index, Kara no Kyoukai, and Boogiepop wa Warawanai, plus older fighting games including Tekken and Street Fighter, for the battle system. The player character is the chief of a Special Ward Agency who cannot use magic and manages witch conflicts rather than fighting directly.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn characters, Lim said the members of Bunkyo\u0026#39;s Rose were introduced deliberately to flip the impression set by the earlier orthodox cast, and that the reaction matched what the team aimed for. Hanamori Momo is his stated favorite. On the swimsuit outfits seen in the trial build\u0026#39;s tutorial screens, Lim said they were placed there to lower the barrier for players unfamiliar with the game\u0026#39;s systems, and that illustrators differentiate even within the same group. Asked about bloomers, Lim said it was not one person\u0026#39;s preference but the team\u0026#39;s, and said 1980s and 1990s anime elements are being prepared where possible. There is currently no PvP content, though Lim said he personally would like to implement some form later. Guild-style social features are planned.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Lim Jonggyu says formation decides 7 of Astrae Oratio's strategy and in-battle play only 3, so the pre-fight setup carries more weight than anything a player does during a fight.","twitterPost":"Astrae Oratio's director splits strategy 7 to 3 between formation and in-battle play, which puts most decisions before the fight starts.","threadsPost":"Astrae Oratio's six roles and three-character teams exist so one character reads clearly on a phone screen, per director Lim Jonggyu.
