Star Savior launched on 20 November, winning hearts with its charming character modelling, a narrative-driven 'Journey' mode, and a genuinely funny main story. While the initial monetization caused a bit of a stir, Studiobside CEO Ryu Geum-tae swiftly addressed the situation with an apology broadcast, promising meaningful improvements that seem to have placated the community.

Star Savior brought that momentum to the AGF 2025 (Animation Game Festival 2025) at KINTEX, Ilsan, where they set up a massive booth right by the entrance of Hall 1. They turned the game's 'Journey' content into a real-life training ground, featuring punch machines and running pads for fans to test their mettle. Those who completed the challenge walked away with a snazzy bag featuring 'Smile' from the Voyager Rescue Team.
