The gap between testing and launch suggests the studio is still calibrating its fantasy RPG loop after Azur Lane's ship-girl template.","twitterPost":"Azur Promilia CBT opens June 1 with no release date. Manjuu is still tuning its fantasy RPG after Azur Lane's ship-girl template.","threadsPost":"Azur Promilia's domestic CBT starts June 1, but there is no release date yet. That gap matters. Manjuu Games built Azur Lane around ship-girl gacha. For Promilia, they swapped warships for tameable creatures called Kibo and moved to a fantasy open world. A closed beta this late with no ship window suggests the studio is still stress-testing core loops rather than polishing for a near-term launch.","newsletterBlurb":"Yostar announced the first Japanese closed beta test for Azur Promilia, the fantasy RPG from the Azur Lane developer.
