A new mobile game titled BTS Universe Story is releasing this month specifically geared towards fans of k-pop group BTS. The seven member group initially released their debut alum 2 Cool 4 Skool in 2013. Since then, the group has become a global sensation, releasing albums almost yearly and selling over 20 million copies world-wide, making them one of the best-selling groups to come out of South Korea. Most recently, the group release Map of the Soul: Persona in 2019, and followed it up with Map of the Soul: 7 in 2020, both of which have received critical acclaim.

Given the group’s success and strong fan base, it’s not surprising that the group’s franchise is expanding into mobile gaming. BTS Universe Story, published by Netmarble Corporation, will release September 24th (KST) for Android and iOS. But this isn’t BTS’s first mobile game, either, as the group released BTS Universe in 2019, also in partnership with Netmarble. The game allowed players to assume the role of BTS’s manager, taking the player on a variety of adventures filled with challenges and choices.
