LOS ANGELES — April 25, 2023 — Com2uS (CEO Joohwan Lee) has carried out a collaboration update with the globally popular IP "One-Punch Man" for the summon RPG "Summoners War: Chronicles" (hereinafter referred to as "Chronicles"), which has gained great popularity worldwide.
The TV anime "One-Punch Man" features a hero named Saitama who defeats all enemies with just one punch, as well as a variety of unique and interesting characters. It features a distinctive concept, a well-crafted storyline, and a serious yet comical tone. The first season was released in 2015 and the second in 2019, both receiving explosive responses from fans worldwide. It has gained high popularity not only in Japan but also in western regions, including North America.
As part of this collaboration, major characters from "One-Punch Man" will appear in "Chronicles" as Monsters. The 8 characters are natural 5-star fire-type Monsters "Genos" and "Atomic Samurai", water-type Monsters "Garou" and "Silverfang", wind-type Monsters "Terrible Tornado" and "Hellish Blizzard", natural 4-star dark-type Monster "King", and light-type Monster "Mumen Rider". Each character uses various techniques from the original anime, such as "Spiral Incineration Cannon" and "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist".
An event will be held to make it easier to obtain the natural 5-star collaboration Monsters. Accumulating 200 summon mileage will grant an "Elite Selection Scroll" that allows one to acquire collaboration Monsters.
While the protagonist Saitama does not appear as a Monster, players can encounter him in various forms, such as NPC and dungeon quest cutscenes. Players are eagerly anticipating Saitama's unique appearances in "Chronicles," as he is known as the strongest hero in the series.
As part of the collaboration, players can also experience the new dungeon, "Evolution of Ascension". "Carnage Kabuto" from "One-Punch Man" will appear as the final boss creature in this dungeon, and players will earn generous rewards for defeating it.
The main promotional video featuring the collaboration Monsters has been released, and the natural integration of One-Punch Man characters into the game has received an enthusiastic response from many fans.
Various events are also being held. Firstly, players can receive rewards from 8 One-Punch Man collaboration characters by completing daily missions and even more rewards based on the number of participation in the Guild Raid. There is also an attendance event where players can receive rewards just by logging in, and the "Justice Enforcement! Path of Growth" event that gives out Restoration Stones, Rainbowmons, Breath of Life, and more for clearing the Path of Growth.
A Com2uS official expressed confidence, stating, “As "Chronicles" and "One-Punch Man" have achieved remarkable success in the global market, we expect to see global synergy through their collaboration. By maximizing the strength of both IPs, we will further enhance the potential of "Chronicles" and solidify its success worldwide. The interest in this collaboration from users all over the world is very high, and we will do our best to make it the collaboration of the century."
