Azur Promilia English Open Beta Set for Summer 2027

Azur Promilia will hold an English open beta test in summer 2027 on a dedicated server based in the United States, Manjuu Games has announced to celebrate global pre-registrations passing 20 million. The test marks the first time the free to play fantasy world RPG opens to English speaking players, with the game in active development for PlayStation 5, PC, iOS and Android. Players waiting since the original reveal finally have a season to circle for their first hands on time with the world of Promilia and its creature companions.

Quick facts

• Game: Azur Promilia, a free to play fantasy world RPG built around bonding with creatures called Kibo
• Developer: Manjuu Games, the studio behind the free to play hit Azur Lane
• English open beta: summer 2027 on a dedicated United States based server, the first test for English speaking communities
• Platforms: PlayStation 5, PC, iOS and Android
• Pre-registrations: more than 20 million globally across all regions

A United States server and the first English test

Manjuu confirmed the English open beta window through its official English channel on X, and framed it as a milestone moment for global support. Until now every public test of Azur Promilia has run outside English speaking regions, so the summer 2027 window is the first chance for players in North America and other English speaking territories to play on a server built for them. The studio says this is only the start of its official English communication, with more updates to follow through its official channels as the test approaches.

The choice of a dedicated United States based server matters for connection quality and event timing. Players joining the beta should expect matchmaking, limited time events and maintenance windows tuned to North American time zones rather than carried over from other regions. Manjuu has not yet confirmed the exact start and end dates inside the summer window, nor the full list of supported languages beyond English, so players should watch the official account for the registration schedule and client preload details as summer 2027 draws closer.

Kibo companions shape combat and home life

At the center of Azur Promilia sits the Kibo, creatures found in every corner of the world, each with its own form and character. Players bond with Kibo and bring them into battle, where the companions fight alongside their partners with distinct looks and behaviors. The official description of the Kibo Safari presentation notes that together they weave the living colors of Promilia, which points to collecting and raising a wide roster rather than sticking with a single partner.

The companions also extend into the home system, where Kibo help with farming, crafting and material gathering. That combination of active combat assistance and homestead chores gives the game a loop that moves between exploration, team building and base upkeep. Fans of creature collection games will recognize the appeal of partners that stay useful when the fighting stops, and the farming and crafting layer suggests steady progression systems for players who enjoy building up a personal hub between story beats.

Kibo Safari video and the community giveaway

Alongside the beta announcement Manjuu released the first English promotional video, titled Kibo Safari, which kicks off the official English channel on X. The video introduces the Kibo and the tone of the English presentation, and it serves as the opening post of a channel the team plans to use for ongoing global communication. Players who want beta news first should follow that account now rather than waiting for the registration window.

The team also launched a community giveaway tied to the announcement, with a top prize of Apple AirPods Max 2. Full entry details live on the official X account, so interested players should read the rules there and enter through the official post. Prizes beyond the top tier were described as part of the same campaign, which makes the announcement post the single place to confirm what is on offer and when entries close.

Why the 20 million milestone matters

Passing 20 million global pre-registrations puts Azur Promilia among the most wishlisted upcoming RPGs from a studio whose last major hit, Azur Lane, proved Manjuu can run a long lived free to play game. Pre-registration counts do not guarantee launch success, but a figure that large signals strong intent across mobile and PC audiences and gives the developers a stronger hand with platform partners for featuring and events. It also raises expectations for server capacity, since a beta tied to that much attention needs infrastructure that holds up on day one.

The four platform lineup of PlayStation 5, PC, iOS and Android keeps every major audience in play, and an English beta arriving in summer 2027 gives the team a full testing cycle with Western players before any full launch. The open questions now are the precise beta dates, the roster of playable Kibo at test start and how progress from the beta carries forward. Each of those answers will shape whether the summer test converts attention into a lasting community, so the months ahead deserve close watching.
