[Financial News] NCsoft has begun a global closed beta test (CBT) for its new magic role-playing game (RPG), 'Astrae Oratio (AsOra).'
NCsoft announced on the 2nd that it had launched the global CBT for AsOra, which is being developed by Dynamis One. The five-day test will run on mobile platforms through the 6th. Participants can experience key content in advance, including the story, combat, and character interactions.
The CBT will feature three main scenarios: 'Tokyo, Civil Servants, and Mages'; 'The Sparkling Days of Minato City's Mages'; and 'The Night of the Missing Shinjuku City Mage and the Urban-Legend Hunters.' Players can experience the game's world and characters through stories set in different areas. Two trailer-style mini-stories will also be showcased.
Combat quests will be available in Minato City and Shinjuku City at various difficulty levels, including Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Challenge. Players can also try the 'Score Trial,' where they battle bosses under various conditions, and the 'Simulation Room,' a dungeon where growth materials can be obtained.
In the character-interaction content 'Free Time,' players can view characters' daily lives and increase their bond levels. 'Costumes,' which change characters' appearances, and character voices will also be unveiled.
NCsoft plans to assess the game's level of completion based on play data and user feedback collected during the CBT, incorporating the findings into future development and preparations for the game's service.
