Azur Promilia is Manjuu (Azur Lane)’s brand new upcoming open-world monster-taming Anime RPG. Ever since its announcement earlier this year, players have been eagerly anticipating its release. And while Manjuu have remained relatively tight-lipped about any type of playable game (neither full release, nor Closed Beta test,) that might be changing as Manjuu filed for a Chinese publishing license that expires in January, 2025.

At present, nothing in terms of information is confirmed, but we’re all anticipating receiving news on a Global release date (Manjuu confirmed the game is not only releasing Globally, but also that it’s releasing on PC, Android, iOS and Playstation 5.) Perhaps we’ll get a Global Closed Beta test date. Manjuu appeared at Bilibili World 2024, where they previewed new characters. They had cosplayers, an entire booth dedicated to showcasing the game and everything it had to offer, alas, a release window was still unconfirmed.

According to the license Manjuu acquired, Azur Promilia is expected to release by January 25th, 2025, as they acquired their publishing license on January 25th, 2024. The Chinese government gives companies a full year to release within China as of the acquisition of their license, although delays, and large alterations to the game can extent the license by a number of months, so while the date might look as though it’s set in stone, it very well may change at a later date. It might need to, as we have yet to receive a playable version of the game in any capacity.
