FunnyStorm is kicking off pre-registration on September 16 for a four-week run for its new mobile game, where players can collect over 160 diverse dragons and explore real-world location data.

FunnyStorm (CEO Yoo Choong-gil) announced that pre-registration for its new location-based adventure RPG, Dragon Raid: Another World (hereinafter Dragon Raid), opens on September 16. The pre-registration period will run for four weeks until October 13, with the official global launch confirmed for October 14. Players can sign up via Kakao Games, Inven Pre-Registration Pick, and HungryApp, as well as pre-register on Google Play and pre-order on the App Store, with detailed channel guides available on the official website. All pre-registration participants will receive a limited-edition "Pioneer" costume set (male and female versions) usable after launch.

Dragon Raid uses smartphone GPS functionality to transform everyday locations and routes into a stage for in-game adventure. Players take on the role of adventurers belonging to humanity's last bastion, the Sky Fortress, exploring an alternate-world Earth connected through dimensional rifts. Along the way, players must battle the hostile "Dark Faction"—a group that infects dragons—and purify corrupted creatures to recruit them as allies. A key feature of the game is that the types of monsters appearing change in real time based on real-world environmental shifts, such as time of day, weather, and temperature.

Players can collect more than 160 diverse dragons throughout their playthrough. Even among the same species of monster, individual potential varies, and rare variants such as Mutants and Albinos exist to maximize the joy of collecting the perfect companion. Additionally, players can encounter unique region-exclusive dragons designed after various countries' mythologies and symbolic animals, including South Korea's iconic Gumiho and Sangun.

Combat centers on intuitive touch controls where players time their hits on a gauge's "Critical Zone," layered with strategic elements such as weapon and elemental affinities and deck composition. The game incorporates equipment farming and enhancement systems, as well as costume customization features. It also supports a wide variety of modes, including "Dragon Dispatch," where up to 10 players can participate asynchronously at their own convenience; the 100-floor "Tower of the Dark Faction" spanning 5 elements; and the ultimate endgame challenge, "Dragon Raid." All players can enjoy a smooth experience on a single server without interference, allowing them to focus on cooperation and collection rather than competition.

FunnyStorm designed player routes so that visiting new places sparks adventurous curiosity, structuring the game so that activity zones and available content expand gradually as players level up. FunnyStorm CEO Yoo Choong-gil stated, "Dragon Raid is an RPG that fully capitalizes on mobile devices' location-linking features, turning the neighborhood you live in and the routes you travel daily into the stage for adventure." He added, "Whether you enjoy location-based RPGs or are simply looking for a truly fresh game amidst the influx of similar titles, I hope you'll join us on October 14 as the first adventurers of this alternate Earth." He further noted, "Even after launch, we will consistently add content and events with each new season to create a game players can enjoy for a long time."
