NC 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. It tells the story of players who become a chief administrator at the Special District Bureau—an agency handling the administration of magicians—and interact with magicians across various districts in Tokyo.
Since 'Shin-Denki' itself is a term derived from Japanese popular culture of the early 1990s, choosing Tokyo Game Show as the stage to introduce it for the first time was a natural choice. The key question was whether it could capture that sensibility naturally and convincingly enough to resonate in its home country of Japan, especially given how many titles have previously knocked on the door of the Japanese market only to fall short and suffer defeat. However, Astraea Oratio saw an immediate positive response right from day one. Even though it was a Business Day open only to industry professionals, the demo queue quickly exceeded one hour after opening. It was particularly encouraging that a queue formed despite having over 30 demo devices available, given its focus on mobile.
Here is a look in photos at NC's Astraea Oratio booth, which caught the attention of industry professionals from Japan and around the world.
