FunnyStorm is officially kicking off a four-week pre-registration campaign starting September 16 for its new mobile title, in which players can collect more than 160 diverse dragons and enjoy exploration powered by 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), begins on September 16. The pre-registration period will run for four weeks until October 13, with the official simultaneous global launch confirmed for October 14. Players can sign up via Kakao Games, Inven Pre-Registration Pick, and HungryApp, as well as through Google Play and the App Store, with channel-specific instructions available on the official website. All pre-registration participants will receive a limited-edition 'Pioneer' costume set (two outfits, male and female) as a reward for use after the official launch.

Dragon Raid utilizes smartphone GPS functionality to transform everyday locations and travel routes into the stage for in-game adventure. Players take on the role of adventurers belonging to 'Sky Citadel'—humanity's last stronghold—to explore 'Another World Earth,' connected via dimensional rifts. Throughout their journey, players must fight against the hostile faction 'Blackened Order' that infects dragons with a virus, purifying corrupted individuals to recruit them as allies. A core feature of the game is that the types of appearing monsters change in real time according to real-world environmental variables such as time of day, weather, and temperature.

Through gameplay, players can collect over 160 diverse species of dragons. Even among monsters of the same species, individual stats and potential vary, and rare specimens such as 'Mutant' or 'Albino' variants exist, maximizing the fun of collecting the perfect companion. Furthermore, players can encounter distinctive region-exclusive dragons designed after national symbols and regional mythology, including 'Gumiho' and 'Sangun' representing Korea.

Combat is built on intuitive touch controls where players time their taps on a gauge's 'Critical Zone,' layered with strategic elements such as weapon and elemental affinities alongside deck composition. The game incorporates equipment farming and enhancement systems, as well as costume customization. It also supports a wide variety of modes, including 'Dragon Dispatch'—where up to 10 players can freely participate according to their own schedules—the 100-floor 'Tower of the Blackened Order' covering 5 elements, and the endgame challenge content 'Dragon Raid'. All players can enjoy a smooth experience without interrupters in a single-server environment, focusing on cooperation and collection rather than competition.

FunnyStorm designed travel paths to spark exploratory curiosity with every visit to a new location, structuring the game so that activity areas and available content expand as player levels grow. FunnyStorm CEO Yoo Choong-gil stated, "Dragon Raid is an RPG that makes the fullest use of mobile devices' location-linked features, turning the neighborhood you live in and the routes you take every day directly into the stage for adventure." He added, "Whether you are a fan of location-based RPGs or simply looking for something truly fresh in an era flooded with similar titles, we hope you join us as one of the first adventurers in Another World Earth on October 14." He continued, "Even after launch, we will consistently add new content and events with each season to create a game players can keep by their side and enjoy for a long time."
