Kakao Games launches SMiniz globally on February 25th. The game blends match-3 puzzles with SM artist fandom culture. Pre-registration is open until the 23rd for rewards.

Kakao Games announced on the 19th that the global service for its new title based on the SM Entertainment IP, SMiniz, will begin on February 25th. SMiniz is a mobile casual game featuring 'Miniz,' tiny characters modeled after SM artists, where players solve match-3 puzzles with their favorite characters.
Kakao Games previously expanded its reach to local users by hosting offline SMiniz events in conjunction with the SMTOWN Fukuoka concert. Furthermore, through a global closed beta test conducted last December, the game showcased features reflecting fandom culture, such as photo card collecting, photo decoration and 'My Room' customization, and costumes inspired by artist activity concepts, all built upon the accessible fun of a puzzle game.
The global launch version will support a total of five languages, including Korean, English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. All users who participate in the pre-registration, which runs until the 23rd, will receive in-game currency as a reward. Additionally, to commemorate the launch, the company will host events to acquire special artist cards in-game and a giveaway event for SMiniz merchandise in collaboration with the SM KWANGYA STORE.
More detailed information about SMiniz can be found on the official SMiniz brand page.

카카오게임즈는 19일, 에스엠엔터테인먼트 IP 기반 신작 슴미니즈(SMiniz)의 글로벌 서비스를 오는 2월 25일 시작한다고 밝혔다. 슴미니즈는 에스엠 소속 아티스트를 닮은 작은 캐릭터 '미니즈'가 등장하는 모바일 캐주얼 게임으로, 유저는 자신이 가장 좋아하는 캐릭터와 함께 매치3 퍼즐을 풀어나간다.
카카오게임즈는 앞서 에스엠타운(SMTOWN) 후쿠오카 콘서트와 연계한 슴미니즈 오프라인 행사를 진행하며 현지 이용자와의 접점을 확대한 바 있다. 또한, 지난 12월 진행된 글로벌 비공개 테스트를 통해 접근성이 용이한 퍼즐 게임의 재미를 기반으로 팬덤 문화를 반영한 포토카드 수집, 개인의 취향대로 꾸미는 포토 데코와 마이룸, 아티스트 활동 콘셉트를 담아낸 코스튬 등을 선보이기도 했다.
