Smilegate’s latest project OUTERPLANE is expected to soon be launching globally after thoroughly being tested. Players can playtest the game during their currently up and running 2nd closed beta test through their official website. The game looks phenomenal with crisp animations and anime-stylized 3D full artwork designs for their characters. OUTERPLANE is a turn-based RPG set in the fictional world of Magnolia where we will role-play as the main character “K” who has lost his memories after a tragic accident. Being a strategic turn-based RPG, players can expect tons of in-game combat mechanics to take note of in order to be victorious. OUTERPLANE will be available as a free-to-play game on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store with in-game microtransactions enabled.

• 3-Star Heroes – 2% Probability of being summoned
• 2-Star Heroes – 19% Probability of being summoned
• 1-Star Heroes – 79% Probability of being summoned
