Azur Promilia might be a little closer to official release than we think. It was confirmed in an interview taken after TGS 2025, that not only had Manjuu finished the 1.0 version of the game, (with the exception of polishing what remains, and making any necessary adjustments,) but they’ve also begun working on future patches, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3+ etc.
This is BIG NEWS! Because it means a 2026 release date is likely. 2026 could have NTE vs Arknights Endfield vs Azur Promilia in terms of competition. Manjuu confirmed that players will have the final say over the game, insinuating that for Promilia to succeed, players have to want to play it, and player satisfaction is integral to their success. “Players have the final say,” they claimed. Let’s see if they can live up to the grandiose expectations players are now going to have, since there’s no doubt player feedback is filled with criticisms of the Gacha, all requesting a move away from HoYo’s predatory model.
