Azur Promilia English open beta planned for summer 2027

Manjuu Games has confirmed that the English version of Azur Promilia will launch after the fantasy RPG’s initial release, with the developer targeting summer 2027 for an English open beta test. The update came through the game’s newly established official English channels, giving international players their clearest timing yet for the creature-companionship RPG. ¹²

The English version will not be part of the game’s initial launch later in 2026. Manjuu says the extra development time is intended to help it deliver a wider range of characters, story content, events and gameplay features in English at launch, rather than releasing a more limited version first. The summer 2027 window is a target, not a locked date, and the developer says it may change as development continues. ¹²

What is Azur Promilia?

Azur Promilia is a fantasy-world RPG from Manjuu Games, the studio behind Azur Lane. It is in development for PlayStation 5, PC, iOS and Android, and is built around forming bonds with Kibo creatures that can support players in combat and everyday activities. The announced systems include exploring the world, gathering materials, crafting, farming, building a home and assembling teams with different playstyles. ¹

The game was first announced in 2024, when Manjuu described it as a fantasy RPG focused on companionship with creatures. The latest announcement says the project has passed 20 million global pre-registrations and completed a third closed beta test in mainland China. Those figures come from the developer’s announcement, rather than an independent audit. ¹

Kibo Safari gives the English launch a first look

Alongside the release-window update, Manjuu’s English channels shared new media including the “Kibo Safari” promotional video. The video focuses on the game’s creature-filled setting and introduces the Kibo companions that sit at the centre of Azur Promilia’s identity. ¹³

Manjuu has also announced a community giveaway connected to the campaign, with details and eligibility being handled through the official Azur Promilia English account. Readers should check that account for the current terms rather than relying on reposted summaries, since giveaway rules can vary by region and may change during the campaign. ²

Our opinion

The important news here is not simply that Azur Promilia is coming to English, but that international players will have to wait for a version Manjuu considers complete. A summer 2027 open beta gives the studio room to bring more of the game’s characters, events and systems across together, although the absence of a firm launch date means the window should be treated cautiously.

For now, the clearest expectation is that the initial 2026 release and the English version are separate launches. Manjuu’s next useful milestone will be more specific information about the beta’s timing, regions, platforms and sign-up process. Until then, the official English account and the “Kibo Safari” video are the best places to follow the project’s international rollout. ²³
