Kakao Games officially kicked off global pre-registration for its new mobile title, SMiniz, which utilizes intellectual property (IP) from SM Entertainment, on the 3rd. The pre-registration period will run until February 23rd across various regions worldwide, including Korea, Japan, Taiwan, North America, and Europe. Users can participate via the Google Play Store, the App Store, or the Kakao Games pre-registration page for domestic users.

All users who participate in the pre-registration will receive in-game currency after the game's official launch. Additionally, participants will be entered into a raffle to win character photo card sets featuring members of NCT, aespa, and RIIZE. Detailed information about the game and the pre-registration link can be found on the official brand page.

SMiniz is a mobile casual puzzle game featuring mini-characters modeled after SM artists. Players solve match-3 puzzles alongside their preferred characters. During the global closed beta test held last December, the game received positive feedback for combining accessible puzzle gameplay with fandom culture. Key features include photo card collection, 'top-loader' and 'fan zone' customization, and outfits based on various artist concepts.

SMiniz is aiming for an official service launch in the first quarter of 2026. Kakao Games is responsible for global publishing and service, while Metabora handled the game's development. SM Entertainment provided the IP for its affiliated groups.
