Krafton Launches Global Release of Strategy Defense Game 'Defense Derby'

"Betting Royal Pioneers a New Genre"

Rising Wings, an independent studio under Krafton, simultaneously launched the real-time strategy defense mobile game 'Defense Derby' worldwide on the 3rd.

Defense Derby is a new strategic defense game that combines the tower defense genre with intense psychological warfare and 4-player player versus player (PvP) battles. Users must scout to acquire cards and build decks to defend their castles from monsters until only one remains. The game features a scouting system where players boldly bet while reading their opponents' moves, along with strategic battles to unleash various synergy effects.

Defense Derby introduces a new genre called 'Betting Royale' with its unique game element of scouting units through betting and battling. It is available in nine languages, including Korean, English, Japanese, Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian, Portuguese, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese, across more than 190 countries worldwide. Users can download the game from Google Play, Apple App Store, and Galaxy Store.

New modes and content that enhance the game's fun are also introduced. In addition to the core play modes 'Derby Mode (PvP)' and 'Breakthrough Mode (PvE)', there is 'Trial Canyon', where players can only play with the same race as the dungeon, 'Friendly Derby', where users can create rooms to play with friends, and 'Theme Mode', which is available only during specific periods. Theme Mode will sequentially open 'Ban Pick Mode', which prevents the use of certain units owned by the opponent, and 'Mission Accomplishment Mode', where the user who survives until the end by completing given missions wins.

Park Shin-chan, PD of Defense Derby, said, "We are pleased to officially present Defense Derby, which we have developed for about two years, to users worldwide," adding, "We will do our best to add various content to make the game enjoyable and to provide stable service."
