Netmarble has taken to the floor at Tokyo Game Show 2025 (TGS 2025) to showcase their upcoming action RPG, Monster Guild: Star Dive, complete with a series of stage events featuring Japanese influencers.

Held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, from the 25th to the 28th, TGS 2025 stands as a titan of global gaming exhibitions. For their maiden voyage with an independent booth, Netmarble has set up dedicated demo stations alongside a bustling programme of live events.

The spotlight for the Monster Guild: Star Dive segments was firmly on local talent. On the 25th, 'Vodka', a creator boasting 2 million subscribers, dived into a boss raid to demonstrate the game's three-character real-time tag combat and hack-and-slash mechanics. Following suit, influencer Kashiwagi Berukura took the reins for an early-game playthrough, sharing his impressions with the crowd.

The event schedule is packed, with special voice actor talk shows and cosplay showcases running daily. The guest list reads like a who's who of the local scene, featuring Kenki, Tonakaito, Kyoichiro, and Mokou, alongside VTubers such as Akami Karubi, Nekomugi Tororo, and Hololive's very own Tokoyami Towa.

Monster Guild: Star Dive serves as a successor to the 2013 mobile collection RPG 'Monster Guild', currently being developed by Netmarble Monster using Unreal Engine 5. The game hinges on three-party real-time tag mechanics and a 'monster ring collecting' system. It is slated for a PC and mobile release in the latter half of this year, with global pre-registrations currently open.
