Azur Promilia has released a special travel guide video ahead of its CBT. The video highlights some of the standout content and features players can look forward to in the test.

From life in nature alongside Kibo to its broad range of life-sim activities, the whole thing almost feels like “jin-saeng” — real life.

Even if you didn’t make it into the test, there’s plenty here to be interested in, so here’s a quick rundown.

Characters and Camera Features

Following Cashibel, who was first shown in a recent PV, this video reveals two more new characters.

They are Anise and Messa.

​

Anise is introduced as someone whose “personality and abilities are both healing-type,” and Messa is shown using recovery skills in actual combat footage. That’s two very solid healer mamas right out of the gate.

The game also includes a camera feature. You can manually set lighting for different times of day — daytime, nighttime, dusk — and use the zoom function to frame shots however you like, from wide-angle views to close-ups. Poses and facial expressions can be customized too.

Kibo Ecosystem

The video also gives a look at the ecology of various Kibo.

​

Bultisae circles around floating islands, and if you provoke it carelessly, an aerial battle kicks off. Haro, meanwhile, likes spring cabbage, and there’s even a cute moment where it panics at the sight of cabbage chickens disguised as cabbages.

Floren sometimes puts on little concerts in the forest, while Bunny Manta and Air Manta play around by making rings of water.

​

What stands out here is that the Kibo aren’t just wandering around the field — they have their own unique events and interact with each other. In an open-world game, how alive the ecosystem feels has a direct impact on immersion, and Azur Promilia seems to have put real care into this side of the experience.

Meanwhile, Star Manta is introduced as a mount that can fly through the sky and glide across the water’s surface, while Yeompyo is a land mount built for very high-speed travel. Phantomfly has a more unusual style, carrying you through the air by holding your hand from above.

There are apparently plenty of other mount types as well, so just checking out the game’s travel options could be fun in its own right.

Combat

The video also reveals the game’s combat structure through a boss guide for Nightfall.

At its core, 3 characters and 3 Kibo make up a team, with each character paired to one Kibo. One character-Kibo pair fights at a time, and you can tag over to the second and third pair as needed.

There’s also a card-style equipment system called “Yeongja”.

Combat flows around using just guards, dodges, counterattacks, and QTE actions to break the enemy’s guard, then pile on damage during the opening. The footage also shows the player switching to Messa for healing when HP gets low.

Kibo also have distinct combat roles: Kukurke gathers enemies into one spot, Star Manta and Laser are useful for ranged attacks, and Blue Signi handles stuns. It’s interesting to see Kibo, which at first glance looked like mounts, take on strategic roles in battle too.

Crisis Subjugation is a multiplayer mode where you party up with other players to challenge powerful enemies. Your 3 characters and 3 Kibo enter the fight alongside other users, and a damage meter appears on the left side of the screen.

The video shows Hanyuyu and Abi creating synergy through skill combinations, and against the final boss Spitehorn, it demonstrates a loop of alternating ranged attacks and melee pressure, draining the armor gauge, then closing things out with an ultimate.

Other Content

Non-combat content was shown off in solid detail as well.

​

The treasure-hunting journey with Titi and Nono plays out in a roguelike format, and there are also mini-games where you transform directly into Kibo such as Cabbage Chicken and Cheolgap Gureumi.

Entering an active Hetero Star Nest on the map lets you encounter Transcendent Mutant Kibo. These are tackled in teams of up to 3 players, with the core gameplay centered on Kibo-focused strategic combat using cards. Defeating a Transcendent Mutant Kibo lets you form a contract through Starlink.

A similar mode, Kibo Battle, takes place on a two-lane map where the goal is to deploy Kibo and use counter cards to destroy the enemy’s structures. Personally, it also brought to mind the Lord of Verminion mode from FFXIV.

Finally, housing content was revealed as well. It includes field farming and item crafting, along with production, decoration, tools, seal-type items, and even buff food cooking. The video didn’t show every detail this time, but it did make clear that there’s a wide range of housing content to dig into.

Closing Thoughts

Azur Promilia’s CBT will run from May 15 to 18. Applications are already closed, so if you’re still curious, it should be worth checking out streams from players broadcasting during those dates. Personally, since I’ve always had a great time with games in this genre, I’m especially looking forward to the life-sim and collection content built around Kibo.
