LOS ANGELES – AUGUST 19, 2026 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, announced the Version 1.3 update for its monster-taming action RPG MONGIL: STAR DIVE, featuring the new 5-star character Brisshell, a new Costume system, and various quality-of-life improvements.
Brisshell is a powerful Earth-element Assassin who comes from the Void. Despite wanting to befriend humans, she is a shy individual who tends to run away when approached. Brisshell fights alongside her friend Alfred in battle, while harnessing otherworldly powers to attack enemies. She becomes particularly powerful while in the “Attention Overload” state that allows her to unleash even stronger attacks.
To celebrate the arrival of Brisshell, the special event “The Girl from the Void” will be available for three weeks. Players can complete missions and event dungeons to collect event currency and earn various rewards, including Summon Tickets and character growth materials. A new Epic Quest, “A Visitor from Afar” that gives players an opportunity to discover more of Brisshell’s story, has also been added.
Version 1.3 also introduces the new Costume system, offering players new ways to enjoy the unique appeal of each character, and two summer-themed costumes for Ophelia and Jiwon are now available.. In addition, “Guide Rewards” for new players has been revamped, alongside several quality-of-life improvements based on player feedback, such as instant Request reward collection, the addition of Quick Battle to the Dimensional Rift mode, and enhanced benefits for “Oath of the Morning Star.”
MONGIL: STAR DIVE is the official successor to the beloved mobile RPG Monster Taming, which helped popularize the mobile collectible RPG genre after its original launch in 2013. Built with Unreal Engine 5, the game features cinematic storytelling, high-quality character presentation, a monster collecting system centered on capturing, collecting and combining monsters, and dynamic real-time tag-based combat with three-character parties.
More information about the latest update and MONGIL: STAR DIVE can be found on the game’s official website and forum.
