Netmarble announced on the 17th that its action RPG, Monster Guild: Star Dive, has reached the No. 1 spot in popularity on both the Korean Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The game also topped the popularity charts on the Japanese Apple App Store and secured second place in domestic revenue on the Apple App Store, signaling a strong start.

To celebrate reaching the top spot on both major markets, Netmarble is providing rewards to all players. For three days starting from the 17th, players will receive a 'Purple Upgrade Stone' to instantly promote a 3-star Monsterling to 4-star, along with 10 'Compasses of Destiny' and 5 'Compasses of Promise' used for character recruitment.

Additionally, Netmarble released a developer note outlining future update and improvement plans, and announced an upcoming live broadcast. The company intends to actively incorporate player feedback regarding improvement directions through dedicated voting sessions.

Monster Guild: Star Dive is the successor to 'Monster Guild', which was released in 2013 and led the mainstream adoption of the mobile collectible RPG genre. It features high-quality character models and cinematic storytelling powered by Unreal Engine 5. The game offers a 'Monster Collecting' system—allowing players to capture, collect, and fuse monsters—alongside a 3-character real-time tag-based combat system.

Various events are also underway to celebrate the official launch, including 'Adventure with Meow', 'Monster Catching & Boss Challenge Missions', 'Subjugation Missions', and 'Dimensional Rift Missions'. Players can participate in these events to earn rewards such as the 'Special Golden Upgrade Stone' to instantly promote a Monsterling to 5-star, 'Compasses of Promise', and 'Monsterling Boxes'.

Monster Guild: Star Dive is available for download on mobile via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and on PC via the Epic Games Store and the official Netmarble launcher.
