BTS Universe Story

**BTS Universe Story** (BTS 유니버스 스토리) is a sandbox styled mobile game developed by Netmarble inspired in the BTS Universe which was originally going to be released worldwide on Apple Store and Google Play on October 29, 2020, but later moved to September 24, 2020.

## Development

The game was teased on August 21, 2019. In early 2020, Netmarble announced the release to be between July and September.

On August 4, 2020, the Smeraldo Books Twitter launched a new hashtag for the game, leading to the game's official Twitter posting a teaser. On August 13, 2020, a new teaser video has been released alongside the official website. Both the Twitter and website showcase the boys as silhouettes, where they reveal SeokJin on the first day and the rest the following days.

On August 18, 2020, the game became available for pre-registration, with the gifts being an exclusive outfit set of the boys.

On August 20, 2020, Netmarble opens recruitment for writers for the game. Applications closed on August 26 and selected on August 31.

## Gameplay

The game is a sandbox-type game, where players can create their own stories which they could share and freely communicate with others. From the launch of the game, stories are available made by the recruited writers before the release. Episodes of stories can be read at the cost of tickets, but early access to next episodes require jewels instead. The main BTS Universe story is titled "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: I'm Fine" where the first two stories are free to play (without tickets), with updates coming at scheduled times. Players can also collect outfits and themes by draw at the cost of jewels.

"I need to begin again... My friends and their lives. I'm sure I'll find the answer there." - SeokJin"I remember the happy moments
laying side by side in the warm grass.
Will our story have a happy ending?""SeokJin finds something written in the notes as soon as he opens them,
and something changes in his eyes...

What did he find written there?""A shrill ringtone cuts through the quiet
TaeHyung knows it won't stop until he answers
He picks up, voice raspy from sleep

Who's on the line?""NamJoon sits down in a corner and takes out a photo.
It must be sentimental, because he gets lost in thought staring at it...

Who is he reminiscing about?""JungKook sits alone in a café, enjoying the rare break on a busy day. He notices a familiar face outside the window and can't help but stare.

Who's JungKook looking at?""HoSeok keeps glancing at the door like he's waiting for someone.
Will it be them this time? The door opens and HoSeok turns once more, hoping it's who he hopes it is.

Who is HoSeok waiting for?""A video message arrives for JiMin just as he finally gets some time to himself.
It's a familiar face and voice...
He smiles almost instinctively.

Who's in the video JiMin's watching?""He sent the message 10 minutes ago, but there's no reply yet.
Did he do something wrong? Tense, YoonGi hurriedly opens the message as soon as he gets it.

What message is YoonGi waiting for?""The seven detectives are assembled!
What case has brought them together like this?""We must find the hope in this world.
What kind of world do these 7 roughed up individuals live in?"
