NC officially showcased its new subculture title 'Astraea Oratio' at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21. Developed by Dynamis One, 'Astraea Oratio' is a Shin-Denki RPG set in a fictional 1989 Tokyo. Players assume the role of a chief officer at the Special Zone Bureau, an administrative body overseeing mages, and experience stories unfolding alongside mages across various districts of Tokyo.
Since 'Shin-Denki' itself originates from early 1990s Japanese popular culture, choosing Tokyo Game Show as the stage for its debut was a natural fit. The real test was whether it could authentically capture that sensibility to resonate in Japan, its home turf—especially considering how many titles have previously knocked on the Japanese market only to fall short. However, Astraea Oratio saw an immediate positive reaction from day one. Despite it being a Business Day open only to industry personnel, the demo line quickly exceeded an hour shortly after opening. The queue formed even with over 30 demo units available—a particularly encouraging sign given its mobile focus.
