Netmarble has released a new version 1.5 update for MONGIL: STAR DIVE, which adds new 5-star character M.A.D.. It also adds new story additions and other gameplay updates.
A press release outlines the update:
Joining the roster as a 5-star Fire-element Assassin, M.A.D. is known as Nirvan’s foremost mechanical engineer and the Architect of Brilliant Blasts. Although her given name is Miadrin, she has operated under the name M.A.D. since departing the Ortus Corps for reasons yet unknown.
To celebrate the update, the special event story A Flame Chasing Freedom will run for three weeks from November 11 through December 2, giving players an opportunity to uncoverM.A.D.’s untold past. Players can play event stages and minigames to collect event currency that can be exchanged for special rewards, including an exclusive LIVE background. The update also introduces a new main story episode, Light from a Fallen Star.
Players can participate in a recruitment event for M.A.D. and her new Artifact during the same period. Additional in-game events, including Special Missions with M.A.D. and M.A.D.’s 7-Day Gifts, will offer a variety of rewards, such as Summon Tickets, key character growth materials, and a Mutant Monsterling Selection Chest.
Version 1.5 also introduces new gameplay features and quality-of-life enhancements. A new seasonal Honor Ranking system has been implemented that calculates seasonal standings based on points earned across game modes including Conquest, Legendary Conquest, and Dimensional Rift, and will reward players with profile frames awarded based on seasonal performance.
Additionally, the Race game mode has been revamped to feature playable characters instead of monsters, and the Friend System now includes a key collection feature based on recent login times as well as a new Friend Ranking tab. Further game-wide improvements include adjustments to final damage calculation, removing limits on Link Chains based on Nyanners’s level cap, and new tabs for Characters, Artifacts, and Cosmetics in the Archive.
MONGIL: STAR DIVE is available now on Android via Google Play, iOS via App Store, and PC via Windows (Netmarble Launcher) and Epic Games Store. Netmarble plans to bring MONGIL: STAR DIVE to consoles, including Xbox platforms and PlayStation 5.
