Azur Promilia is an open-world sandbox action RPG from Manjuu, the studio behind Azur Lane. Players explore Promilia as a Starborn, collect Kibo creatures, fight with a 3-character tag system that uses skills, ultimates, dodge, and parry, and mix in housing, crafting, and life-sim content.
CBT 3 is the third Chinese closed beta, also called the Journey Test or Journey Trace Test. It is described as the final closed test before official launch. It is a limited paid data-wipe test for China only. Real-name verification is required. Minors cannot join.

Earlier tests
China CBT 2 ran April 3-11, 2026. Korea tested May 15-18. Japan tested July 2-10. Taiwan also held a short test in June. Feedback praised visuals, world size, Kibo variety, and combat. Common issues were UI, tutorials, fonts, and some mini-game difficulty.
Known characters from earlier tests include the customizable Starborn, Cashibel, Symphoria, Abby, Terara, Anis, Tushan Xiaoyu, Han Youyou, and Metsa.
Global status
Global pre-registration has passed 20 million. Korea, Japan, and Taiwan already had regional tests. There is still no confirmed global beta or launch date. An Asia-first 2026 release with a later global version is the common expectation.
