Global Momentum Builds as Action RPG Enters Final Development Stages

SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL – The global roadshow for Netmarble’s highly anticipated monster-taming Action RPG, MONGIL: STAR DIVE, reached a new peak at the Brazil Game Show (BGS) 2025, Latin America’s largest gaming convention. The showcase, which ran from October 9–12, 2025, in São Paulo, confirmed the game’s strong international appeal as it pushes towards its final release, a critical development for the highly competitive free-to-play RPG market.

The game, developed by Netmarble Monster and built on Unreal Engine 5, is rapidly approaching its launch window in the latter half of 2025 across multiple platforms: PlayStation 5, PC (via the Epic Games Store and Windows), and mobile devices (iOS and Android). The BGS appearance was a key stop, following successful showings at G-STAR 2024, Summer Game Fest 2025, gamescom 2025, and Tokyo Game Show 2025, underscoring Netmarble’s commitment to a true cross-platform gaming experience.

Immersive Showcase and Next-Gen Graphics

Netmarble’s presence at BGS 2025, held in collaboration with Samsung Electronics, featured an immersive hands-on demo experience. Attendees were given the chance to experience MONGIL: STAR DIVE’s dynamic action on state-of-the-art hardware, including Samsung’s innovative Odyssey 3D glasses-free monitor.

Jung Ho Lee, Game Publishing Director at Netmarble, noted, “The enthusiasm at Brazil Game Show has been remarkable. As MONGIL: STAR DIVE enters its final stages of development, the global excitement is truly inspiring. We are fully focused on delivering an impeccable experience that justifies this anticipation.”

• Unreal Engine 5 Visuals: The stunning, cinematic graphics were a highlight for players, who praised the game’s vibrant art style and high level of immersion. This focus on premium visuals is a strong indicator of a high-CPC title targeting a global, discerning audience.
• Multi-Platform Commitment: The demonstration featured the console version, which was first unveiled at TGS 2025, highlighting dedicated features like DualSense™ controller support and a console-specific HUD. This strategic push for a seamless experience across all major platforms maximizes the potential global user base.

Core Gameplay and Features That Resonate

MONGIL: STAR DIVE distinguishes itself in the crowded Action RPG genre with its unique blend of fast-paced combat and deep monster-taming mechanics. The core loop centers around protagonists Verna and Cloud as they journey with their companion, the mysterious creature Nyanners, undertaking guild missions and uncovering their destiny in a world of humans, monsters, elves, and beastkin.

Monsterling System for Strategic Depth:

The highly praised Monsterling system is a cornerstone of the gameplay. It allows players to capture and train a variety of unique monsters. These captured creatures can be used in two key ways:

1. Directly in battle, utilizing their unique abilities.
2. Transformed into “Monster-rings” to enhance character abilities, adding layers of strategic customization.

This innovative mechanic offers a fresh take on the classic monster collector RPG format, providing extensive character build options that appeal to both casual players and those who enjoy deep RPG mechanics and character optimization.

Intuitive Tag-Team Action:

Combat is centered around a quick and easy-to-master three-character party system. Players can switch characters in real-time to unleash powerful Tag Skills, encouraging the creation of diverse parties with complementary strengths. The game is designed to be accessible while still offering engaging combat with dodge and parry mechanics, setting it apart in the action RPG PC and mobile spaces.

Development Milestones and Community Engagement

The BGS showcase comes on the heels of the successful second Closed Beta Test (CBT) which introduced expanded story content, refined Monsterling features, and fresh gameplay systems. Netmarble confirmed that player feedback from this crucial phase is being actively integrated to ensure a polished final product.

• Pre-Registration Incentives: Global pre-registration remains open across all platforms (official website, Epic Games Store, Google Play, App Store). Early registrants are eligible for valuable in-game rewards, including the 4-star character Francis and the exclusive Mollumander Monsterling upon reaching certain milestones. This strategy is vital for securing a strong Day-One player count and maximizing customer acquisition.
• Upcoming Exhibitions: Netmarble’s world tour is not over. The team plans to continue building hype and gathering final feedback at G-STAR 2025 in Busan in November, keeping the title in the news cycle right up to launch.

MONGIL: STAR DIVE is set to support 12 languages, with Korean, English, and Japanese voice-overs, confirming its aggressive push into the global gaming market. The strong reception at Brazil Game Show 2025 is the latest testament to its potential to be a breakout hit in the gacha games and action RPG genres, making it a highly anticipated title for players seeking a new, high-quality monster-tamer action RPG in 2025.
