Answer the Call of the Tower in this stunning, fast-paced action RPG

LOS ANGELES – July 26, 2023 – Leading mobile game developer and publisher Netmarble is proud to announce the worldwide launch of Tower of God: New World on both iOS and Android platforms. Players can also download the PC version from Google Play Games Beta.

After its debut on WEBTOON, Tower of God became a global megahit, amassing over 6 billion views worldwide, and later spawning a hit anime series, now in its second season of production. The story of Twenty-Fifth Bam, the boy who is climbing the Tower in a quest to be reunited with his friend Rachel, has resonated with fans around the world.

In Tower of God: New World, players can take a more active role in the story as they take control of fan-favorite characters to ascend the Tower. Join Twenty-Fifth Bam – and 69 characters – as he fights his way through the Tower in gorgeous 3D animation that will make players feel like they have stepped into an anime world. Players will not only enjoy fast-paced battle mechanics, but a unique Slot System, which allows players to power up a particular “slot” instead of a specific character. This eliminates the grind of leveling up new characters – they can immediately be placed into the slot to become powerful teammates.

• High-Quality Graphics: Characters, settings, abilities, and cutscenes are rendered in striking 3D animation. 
• Collectable Cast: 69 characters are available to collect and play at launch.
• Story Mode: Accompany Twenty-Fifth Bam and his friends on their journey, taken straight from the Webcomic story.
• Adventure Mode: Assemble your own unique team and ascend the Tower your way. Strategize to defeat the worst the Tower has to offer.
• Shinsu Link System: A unique system that levels up a slot, not the character in the slot; so once you get your favorite character, just pop it in the leveled-up slot and you’re ready to go. No unnecessary grinding required!
• Loot System: Earn rewards to help you level up even when taking a break!
• Daily Arena: Compete in daily PVP matches for rewards.

To celebrate the game’s global launch, players will be treated to abundant rewards with following events.

• Regulars Welcome Check-in event: Players can earn plenty of rewards including Normal Summon Ticket, SSR Soulstones and more.

Desert Treasure II launches today in Old School RuneScape

CAMBRIDGE, UK – July 26, 2023 – Launching today in Old School RuneScape, Desert Treasure II – The Fallen Empire is a Grandmaster quest that is two decades in the making, introducing four brand-new bosses, an iconic sequel to a much-beloved storyline, and a host of mystical and powerful rewards.

The original Desert Treasure launched in 2005 and introduced a whole generation of players to the Mahjarrat and the questline surrounding this ancient, mysterious people. In Desert Treasure II, players will embark on an epic quest as they journey through four new areas, battling four fearsome new bosses to gain access to an ancient vault and the great riches that lies within. However, opening the vault has the potential to change Gielinor forever!

These four bosses each have their own abilities, mechanics, and strategies that players will test their mettle against. These bosses can be replayed post-quest for additional rewards, including the mighty Virtus Armour.

Desert Treasure II will reward players with four new best-in-slot rings to boost strength, ranged skills, magic, and melee, as well as a fully upgraded Ancient Sceptre which gets stronger with every defeated boss. Each boss will also drop one of four pieces of a unique two-handed axe for felling the toughest foes.

This year, the Old School RuneScape team began the process of adding a new skill for the first time in the game’s 10-year history. Passing the pitching stage, the new skill Sailing will now enter refinement before it is put before the community for the lock-in vote.

SEOUL – July 26, 2023 – Popular mobile RPG Blue Archive pits players against an otherworldly threat alongside new student Mika as Kivotos descends into chaos in the Main Story Part 1 Final Episode Chapter 2, “Operational Plan: Nisir’s Summit.”

From NEXON Korea Corp., Blue Archive has players step into the shoes of Sensei, an advisor for the Federal Investigation Club, Schale, shortly after the disastrous disappearance of the General Student Council president. As anarchy takes over, it’s up to Sensei to mobilize the eccentric students of the academy city of Kivotos and take matters into their own hands. Armed with military tact, players will resolve the endless incidents that occur in Kivotos while forging strong bonds with charismatic allies, brimming with unique personalities.  

In the latest chapter of Sensei’s story, available until Tuesday, Aug. 8, trouble in Kivotos has come to a head in the Main Story Part 1 Final Episode Chapter 1, “Operation Recapture Schale,” setting the stage for the action-packed Chapter 2, “Operational Plan: Nisir’s Summit.” As events descend into pure chaos, players are thrown into an intense battle where they must command a squad of students in combat against six raid bosses, including Perorodzilla (Chroma) and Binah (Chroma). Various rewards await the victorious defenders of Kivotos, including Pyroxenes, Recruitment Tickets and Elephs.

“Operational Plan: Nisir’s Summit,” prepares Kivotos for battle, with features including:

• New Student, Mika – A highly anticipated new student, available through Fest Recruitment, is making her grand debut amidst the high stakes and comes with her own unique abilities. A formidable Striker from Trinity General School, Mika uses her EX skill to deal massive damage proportional to her ATK, and depending on her enemy’s health, it can pack an even more powerful punch.
• Quality-of-Life Improvements – In addition to the new student, Nexon raised the account level cap to 85. A new difficulty level for Commissions, as well as 37 pieces of Abydos Classroom themed furniture for players to decorate their Cafes have also been added.
• Update Celebrations – Players who log in to the game between Tuesday, Aug. 1 and Friday, Aug. 11 at 1:59 a.m. (UTC) will be able to claim and use 10 Free Recruitments each day.
