Sword x Staff Officially Launches in South Korea on November 4

Boltray Games announced that it officially launched the light RPG Sword x Staff in South Korea on November 4. According to the company, the game has been chosen by 10 million global players, and to mark its domestic launch, in-game rewards and giveaway events worth a total of 10 million won have been prepared.

Sword x Staff features a 24-hour idle progression system that earns resources such as experience points and equipment even while logged offline. Players can swap between two classes while preserving their level, combining skills for combat. Based on 2D illustrations and SD characters, it also supports character customization and various skins.

In exploration mode, players search for hidden quests and treasures in the fantasy world alongside Fantamon. Players can also quickly match with others or enjoy social activities.

The launch-commemorative pre-registration rewards include Korea-exclusive weapons 'Sweet & Salty So-Tteok So-Tteok' and 'Spicy & Sweet Giant Tteok-kkochi', as well as the 'Feast' item pack consisting of a skin and weapon. The new skin 'Magic Academy' was also unveiled.

Check-in rewards are distributed depending on the period. The 7-day check-in event 'Beginning of Adventure' provides 80 'Star Wish' skill summon tickets. The 30-day check-in rewards include 240 'Star Wish' tickets, 20 'Star Contract' advanced skill summon tickets, 100 SSR Goddess Cards, and 20 'Bond String' Fantamon summon tickets. In 'Growth Trial', a selectable SSR Fantamon box is provided on Day 7, and an opportunity to unlock a selectable UR Ancient Relic package is offered on Day 14.

The company is running a character creation verification event, its second giveaway event worth 10 million won, from November 4 until November 11 at 11:59 PM. To participate, players can capture a screenshot of their created character in the game and post it as a comment on the official Naver Lounge event post. Raffle prizes include a 24K pure gold Sword x Staff gold bar (2 don) (1 winner), iPhone 18 Pro 256GB (1 winner), Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 (2 winners), Apple AirPods Max 2 (3 winners), Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset (5 winners), and delivery gift vouchers worth 30,000 won (10 winners). In-game coupon codes will also be provided to participants.

From November 11 to December 1, collaboration content with the Naver Webtoon 'Return of the Blossoming Blade' will be showcased. Five key figures from the Mount Hua Sect—'Chung Myung', 'Baek Cheon', 'Yu Iseol', 'Yoon Jong', and 'Jo Gol'—will appear as companions in the game. Collaboration items such as limited Mount Hua Sect costumes and the 'Plum Blossom Sword', along with emoticons, housing skins, and mini-games, are also scheduled to be released.
