Back in early June, we reported that Netmarble and Big Hit Entertainment were teaming up to make BTS World, a management sim for mobile in which you become the manager of the super popular K-Pop band BTS. The game was released later that month and immediately became a massive success, becoming the most downloaded app on the App Store in 25 countries just within 24 hours. Now, it seems the two companies are joining forces once again to make yet another game about the BTS boys.
Details about this upcoming game are scant at the moment – we haven’t even got an official title for it – but we do know that the development process is helmed by Netmarble Monster. A trailer for it is also available, you can check it out right below:
If you missed it, BTS World is essentially a pretty straightforward interactive visual novel. At first glance, we thought it was just pure fan service, but the game actually offers a lot of interesting alternate reality stories to explore. We had a pretty good time with it, and judging from the trailer above, the next game is going to push the over-the-top-ness to a whole new level.
It seems that there’s some kind of intense riot going on, and instead of being talented singers, our BTS boys will become superheroes instead. The entire thing is just so hilariously dramatic. Whatever this game turns out to be, we are totally on board, for the level of quirky brilliance that the trailer emanates if nothing else.
A press release earlier today also confirmed that the new game will belong to a completely different genre compared to BTS World, and it’ll put a heavier focus on ‘lush, emotion-filled art’. No further information is available at the moment, but we will be sure to keep you updated. While waiting for it, though, why not give BTS World a try if you haven’t already? It is up for grab on both Google Play and the App Store right now.
