Get ready to clear some space on your hard drive and charge your power banks. Netmarble has officially confirmed that its highly anticipated monster-taming action RPG, MONGIL: STAR DIVE, will launch globally on April 15, 2026.

Following a successful showing at GDC 2026 this week—where a collaborative demo with Xbox turned heads—the sequel to the 2013 cult classic Monster Taming is finally ready for the big stage. Built on Unreal Engine 5, this isn’t just a mobile port; it’s a full-scale cinematic experience coming to PC and mobile simultaneously.

A Modern Take on Monster Taming

Set in the vibrant world of Belana, MONGIL: STAR DIVE follows the journey of protagonists Cloud and Verna, along with their mysterious (and let’s face it, incredibly round) cat-like companion, Nyanners.

The core gameplay loop centres on a high-octane three-character tag battle system. Rather than sticking to one hero, you’ll be hot-swapping between your party members in real-time to chain abilities and adapt to enemy patterns.

The “Monsterling” Mechanic

What sets this apart from your standard RPG is the Monsterling Collection system. Here’s the breakdown:

Capture & Tame: Use Nyanners’ unique abilities to capture monsters across the continents of Centralia and the Far East.

Synthesise: Combine creatures to create more powerful allies.

Equip: Monsters can transform into “Monsterlings”—essentially magical essence forms—that act as companions to boost your party’s stats and combat prowess.

Launch Details & Pre-Registration Perks

The game is hitting PC (via Epic Games Store and official launcher), iOS, and Android on launch day, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions expected to follow at a later date.

If you haven’t signed up yet, Netmarble is sweetening the deal for early birds. Pre-registering now will bag you some essential starter loot:

Francis: A popular support character to jumpstart your team.

Compass of Promise: Summoning tickets to help pull new allies.

Exclusive Profile Images: Show off your “early adopter” status from day one.

TechMash Tip: If you’re playing on PC, the Unreal Engine 5 visuals are the real star here. Expect lush environments and cinematic story beats that push the boundaries of the monster-collecting genre.
