No. The global CBT ended on October 6, 2026. Registration closed even earlier, on September 21. If you missed it, the next official hands-on opportunity has not been announced; watch this page for news of any second test or pre-registration.
What happened at the TGS 2026 demo?
Astrae Oratio was playable for the first time at Tokyo Game Show 2026 (September 17–21, Makuhari Messe, Chiba) with a demo offering Story Mode and Combat Mode. The booth was modeled on the in-game Special District Office, and roughly 30,000 booth visitors were reported. It was also at TGS that NC announced the 2027 window and the PC version.
Will there be another beta test?
Nothing has been announced. NC's published communications cover the CBT that just ended and the 2027 launch window; any second test, open beta or pre-registration campaign would be new news. We re-check NC's press page regularly and will date-stamp any announcement here.
