Azur Promilia is a free-to-play fantasy world RPG in development at Manjuu, a studio based in Shanghai. Players travel across the continent of Promilia with creature companions called Kibo, which fight alongside a party of characters and help with home tasks such as farming, crafting and gathering materials. A publisher press release dated October 13, 2026 lists PlayStation 5, PC, iOS and Android as its platforms.
Each region has its own publisher, official website, test schedule and pre-registration. Manjuu publishes the game in mainland China, Yostar in Japan and Nexon in Korea. As of October 2026 there is no launch date in any region. An English-version open beta is planned for summer 2027 on a dedicated U.S.-based server, which the October 2026 announcement described as the first time the game will be available to English-speaking players.

The Japanese official website calls the game 星霊と旅するファンタジーワールドRPG, a fantasy world RPG in which you travel with 星霊 (a word made of the characters for star and spirit; no English term has been announced). The 2024 Chinese reveal described it as 全新星宠结伴×幻想大世界RPG, pairing star-pet companionship with a large fantasy world. Official artwork on the Japanese site carries the English line "Starlight Through Time Into You", and the Chinese reveal used the theme 予你的，138亿年的星光, which refers to 13.8 billion years of starlight.

Premise
The player character is an amnesiac traveler who explores Promilia in search of their past and gathers companions along the way. Chinese material calls this traveler 星临者 and the Korean community uses 성림자; an English title has not been announced. In the Korean closed beta the protagonist's hair, eyes, ears, skin color, costume and gender could be changed.
The Japanese site describes a world of unknown civilizations, magic, fantasy creatures and star-bound legends, and says players can roam it from the bottom of the deep sea to high in the sky.
Core Features
Everything below comes from official announcements or from test builds. The Korean publisher marks its system posts as development-build information that may differ at launch, so none of this should be read as final. See Gameplay Systems for detail.

The Continent of Promilia
The Japanese site introduces five regions: 芽吹の谷, a green valley with a great tree; シャルル村, a beastkin village; 鏡花州, a region with Eastern-style architecture; レーブ, an industrial city described as not yet explorable; and the trade city Fleece. Fleece is the only region with an official English name so far. The other four have no announced English names as of October 2026. World and Regions covers each one.
Characters and Kibo
Five characters have official Latin-script names on the Japanese site: Anais, Cathbelle, Symphoria, Terara and Metsa. Many more are named only in Korean, Japanese or Chinese; see Characters. Five Kibo have official Latin-script names: Staray, Downybrinny, Cabbird, Bluda and Vespervamp. Official sources have not given a total count of Kibo; Kibo List collects every named one.
Development and Release
Manjuu revealed the game in China on March 20, 2024, the same day Chinese reservations opened. Since then it has run three Chinese tests (the last of them a paid test that ended on October 7, 2026), a Korean closed beta in May 2026 and a Japanese closed beta in July 2026. The game had a booth at Tokyo Game Show 2025. Publisher roles, websites and events are on Development and Publishing, and platform details and test-build requirements are on Platforms and System Requirements.
