Azur Promilia, the ambitious fantasy open-world RPG from Manjuu Games (the studio behind Azur Lane), is moving closer to release in key Asian markets. Pre-orders and pre-registrations for iOS have begun appearing in regional App Stores, with an expected release date of December 31, 2026 listed for versions targeting China, Japan, and Korea. While this date remains an estimate rather than a fully confirmed official announcement, it signals strong momentum toward a late-2026 Asia launch.
About the Game
Developed by Manjuu, Azur Promilia is a sandbox-style action RPG set in the vast fantasy continent of Promilia. Players take on the role of a Starborn (or Star-Linker), a traveler who arrives in a world filled with diverse civilizations, magic, and extraordinary creatures. The game emphasizes exploration, bonding with companion creatures known as Kibo, combat, crafting, construction, and farming in a high-freedom open world.
Kibo serve as more than just combat partners. Players can equip each party member with one, use them as mounts for travel across land, water, or air, and involve them in resource gathering, puzzles, and other activities. Combat revolves around a three-character party system where players tag between character-Kibo pairs, incorporating mechanics such as just dodges, parries, and breaks. Additional modes include cooperative PvE content and strategic Kibo battles.
Regional Plans and Platforms
Regional publishing partnerships are already in place to support the Asia rollout. Manjuu is handling China, Nexon is publishing in Korea (where a closed beta ran in May 2026), and Yostar is managing Japan. Pre-registration campaigns have been active across these regions, and further testing, including a Journey Test in China, has continued into mid-2026.
The game runs on Unity and is planned for Windows PC, Android, and iOS, with earlier announcements also mentioning PlayStation 5 support. It features anime-style characters from various races, including beastmen, elves, and others, alongside a large roster of Kibo. Localization efforts have included full Korean voiceovers for the domestic version, with support planned for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English in broader releases.
What Comes Next
A global or English version has not received a confirmed timeline. Community discussion points to the possibility of an Asia-first launch followed by other regions later, a pattern seen with some other Chinese-developed titles. English-language channels have been quieter compared to regional ones, leaving many international fans watching for updates.
As the final months of 2026 approach, Azur Promilia continues building anticipation through events, pre-registration rewards, and ongoing development feedback from betas. Fans in Asia can already pre-order on relevant App Stores or register on official sites, while players elsewhere monitor Manjuu, Nexon, Yostar, and related channels for further news on expansion beyond the initial Asian servers.
The December target positions the title as one of the more closely watched fantasy RPGs of the year, blending Manjuu’s signature character appeal with expansive open-world and creature-companion systems.
