HAEGIN (CEO Lee Young-il) announced that its mobile idle baseball game, '2026 Professional Baseball GO!', will undergo a regular update on the 20th to significantly improve team management content and expand growth systems. This update focuses on enhancing the core fun of management, allowing users to manage their own teams more deeply and develop players.

First, the Scout Center, a core facility for team operations, has been completely overhauled. A new building level-up feature allows the facility to be upgraded to level 50, and clearing specific guide missions will unlock up to two additional scout slots.

Depending on the level, advanced and premium scouting options will be unlocked, enabling the recruitment of players up to the Legend grade. Additionally, scouting for past team players has been improved to align with group team deck criteria, adding strategic flexibility. The Training Center has also seen its maximum training level expanded from 5 to 10, and a reset function has been added.

New systems and items to support continuous user growth have also been optimized. The maximum level for player cards has been increased from 30 to 40, and a new Monster-grade album, separate from the existing year-based albums, has been introduced for more systematic management.

Furthermore, three new pass systems—Stage, Power Achievement, and Infinite Mode—which provide tiered rewards based on game progress, have been added, along with three new monthly subscription products tailored for team management that offer daily rewards.

Adjustments to resource acquisition rates and content difficulty balance to facilitate smoother team growth are also notable. Gold production in home stadiums and material production in the shop have been significantly increased, while the difficulty of certain sections in Stage, Daily, and Infinite modes has been lowered to allow for smoother gameplay.

In addition, 10 unique pitching/batting forms for legendary players such as Yeom Jong-seok, Kim Jin-woo, Kim Won-joong, Kim Sun-woo, and So Hyeong-jun have been added. The mascots for the Haitai Tigers, Hyundai Unicorns, and Nexen Heroes, as well as Hanbat Baseball Stadium—the former home of the Hanwha Eagles—have been included to stir nostalgia among veteran baseball fans.

A HAEGIN representative stated that this update focused on easing growth balance so that users can more deeply experience the core fun of idle management, adding that they will continue to communicate closely with fans to ensure '2026 Professional Baseball GO!' becomes a comfortable and enjoyable companion in their daily lives, mirroring the excitement of the actual KBO League. Meanwhile, to celebrate this regular update, '2026 Professional Baseball GO!' plans to sequentially launch three new events starting in June, offering a wealth of benefits including special support and growth missions.
