LOS ANGELES – November 1, 2023 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality mobile games, has released a new game update for its collectible card game RPG, Tower of God: New World. Players can experience a new teammate, a new side story, costumes, and limited-time events.

New teammate SSR Novick (Blue Element, Tanker, Spear Bearer) is a member of an elite team formed by Khun Aguero Agnes for Rachel. His skill increases Physical Resistance and protect allies with Swiftness Increase Block. Novick is obsessed with authority and order which gains the attention of Khun Aguero Agnes who asks him to lead the team from time to time. When a new teammate is recruited, Novick uses it as an opportunity to challenge Khun Ran and attempt to reorganize the group’s leadership order. It is a one-sided rivalry, but they work well together.

Players can experience a new Tower of God: New World side story called Rak’s Strange Adventure. Rak is separated from his team in the final test and encounters a group of barnacle goblins. Complete this story and receive Normal Summon Tickets (x10). Additionally, a new costume has been added for Hansung Yu (Beyond the Luminous Snowfield).

The following limited-time events are now available until Nov. 15:

• November Check-In Event: Check-in the game for 14 days and receive Normal Summon Tickets (x30), Suspendium (x3,000), Soul Crystal (x100) and more.

In Tower of God: New World, players can take control of fan-favorite characters to ascend the Tower. Join Twenty-Fifth Bam – and more than 70 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 experience fast-paced battle mechanics while utilizing a unique Slot System that powers up a particular “slot” instead of a specific character.

Find out the truth behind the “Storm” as Timekeeper Vertin and a team of arcanists in Reverse: 1999’s first animated trailer: 

On the eve of a new era, drops of rain break free from gravity’s pull and float toward the endless sky. The familiar sparkle of champagne and glitter of confetti quickly fades as 1999 rewinds itself. The future is quickly replaced by the advent of the Sixties’ counterculture and Roaring Twenties’ social trends. The “Storm” has arrived, bringing about the end of progress.

Vertin, the Timekeeper, is the only person immune to the “Storm.” As the continuation of time crumbles, she vows to learn the truth behind this mysterious tempest.

Through the eras, Vertin gathers a team of arcanists, otherwise known as the ones born with eccentric powerful abilities. The esteemed student Sonetto, the rebel DJ Regulus, the wealthy lady Sotheby, the aristocratic wandmaker Druvis III, and the engineering wunderkind X are a few of the talented that join her cause. When a rival group of arcanists known as Manus Vindictae confronts Vertin, the Timekeeper pulls the thread of a mysterious Spinning Wheel. Does fate apply in an unraveling universe? Reverse: 1999’s lore and plot are as broad as they are dense, giving players a rich continuum to rewind and discover.

The title’s new Chapter III and IV trailers offer a brief glimpse of the vast, era-spanning narrative complimented by astounding visuals and top-tier voice acting in the full version of the game, unveiling more about Vertin’s childhood in the St. Pavlov Foundation and the conflict and unity inside the Foundation. 

Learn more about the cinematic lore of Reverse: 1999 with its Chapter III and Chapter IV trailers.
