Recruitment for the Astrae Oratio closed beta ended on Monday, September 21, 2026 at 12:00 (UTC+9). Two days later, on September 23, NC began sending selection emails to chosen testers in batches and confirmed the test dates:

• CBT period: October 2, 2026 (Fri) 12:00 – October 6, 2026 (Tue) 12:00, UTC+9.
• Notification: only selected applicants received an email; NC advised checking spam folders.
• Pre-download: testers later received a pre-download email on October 2 at 10:00 (UTC+9).

Applicants who were not selected did not get a separate notice. A small number of guaranteed slots also went to winners of the official Sign-Up Verification Event on X, announced on September 21.
