NCSoft said on the 11th that it will partner with Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) to demonstrate and exhibit its new game at Tokyo Game Show 2026, Japan's largest gaming expo.

The company will unveil "Astrae Oratio," a new magic-themed role-playing game set in a mythical era. Visitors will be able to play the game on Samsung's flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, at the NCSoft booth.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra features a newly structured vapor chamber that delivers stable performance during high-specification gaming.

At the booth, NCSoft will use Samsung's Spatial Signage displays to present "Astrae Oratio" characters as life-size three-dimensional images. The displays apply Samsung's proprietary 3D plate technology, creating depth and dimension that make the screen appear to contain real space without requiring 3D glasses.

An 85-inch Spatial Signage display at the booth entrance recreates an elevator inside the Special District Office building, one of the game's main settings. As the elevator doors open, various characters from "Astrae Oratio" appear to step toward viewers. NCSoft also plans to place 32-inch Spatial Signage displays along visitor pathways to heighten immersion and draw attention.
