Astrae Oratio sees NC partner with Dynamis for upcoming magical girl RPG
Overview & Key Takeaways
The magical girl genre is one that's been told and retold innumerable times in anime and games.

Astrae Oratio has slowly been unveiled to audiences, and is set in a modern-day Tokyo filled with as much magical bureaucracy as there is mystery. The latest trailer to drop gives us a look at some of the characters and their abilities in combat, including the neat cel-shaded graphics that make it look like a living anime.
It's a kind of magic
There's not all that much else to say about Astrae Oratio. After all, this is one upcoming game that's slowly being drip-fed to audiences rather than with one big reveal. I don't think that's necessarily a bad release strategy, but it does contrast with others like Limit Zero Breakers, another NC (that's formerly NCSoft) project.
The actual setting is also intriguing, although this is obviously far from the first time we've seen magic mix with modernity. And the graphics certainly look just as excellent as those which wowed me in the upcoming Limit Zero Breakers.
But, as one might expect, the focus seems to be on Limit Zero Breakers and its upcoming release from NC. We can probably expect Astrae Oratio to be their next hyped release once that's out, however, so watch this space and their official website!
