HYBE IM "Samguk Blade Growth, Martial Arts Webtoon ‘Gosu’ Collaboration"

Hive IM announced on the 24th that its new idle role-playing game (RPG) developed by Action Square, ‘Samguk Blade Kiugi,’ will collaborate with the Naver webtoon ‘Gosu.’

‘Gosu,’ a representative martial arts webtoon, enjoys global popularity with over 1.4 billion cumulative views worldwide, thanks to its thrilling combat action, high-quality artwork, and vast, solid world-building. Through this collaboration, players can meet four popular characters from ‘Gosu’ in ‘Samguk Blade Kiugi’: ▲Gangryong ▲Dogyeom ▲So Jinhong ▲Jin Garyeong. These four characters, reborn as new legendary-grade generals, showcase unique attack skills and actions based on their original martial arts from the source material.

‘Gangryong’ possesses skills that boost the stats of both allies and himself, usable in various combat situations. ‘Dogyeom’ boasts protective effects and, when combined with specific team setups, enhances both the attack and defense of physical-type allies. ‘So Jinhong’ is a character who subdues opponents with swift swordsmanship and drawing techniques, featuring skills that strengthen physical-type allies and continuously inflict damage on enemies. ‘Jin Garyeong,’ a support character, has abilities that heal herself and physical-type allies while simultaneously disrupting enemies.

Additionally, the update introduces legendary-grade costumes for the first time. Users can customize their characters’ appearances more distinctively using these costumes. The ‘Challenger’s Battlefield,’ recreating the dumpling shop from the original work, has also been added. Players can engage in intense battles with ‘So Jinhong’ and earn various rewards, including ‘Dogyeom,’ ‘So Jinhong,’ and ‘Jin Garyeong,’ depending on the challenge difficulty.

A special event is also underway until the 20th of next month, where simply logging into the game allows players to obtain the four new legendary generals. Players can complete given missions to collect dumplings and purchase special rewards. Various coupons for rapid character growth and official community events are also available.

‘Samguk Blade Kiugi’ has announced content updates including the expansion of the highest floors in general and daily battlefields, and the growth content ‘Royal Treasure.’ Furthermore, reflecting user feedback, the game promises to focus on convenience improvements such as changes to server reward collection methods related to fortress defense battles and the addition of a practice mode.
