The first song from the BTS World soundtrack, titled “Dream Glow,” has been released. The song is sung by Jin, Jimin, and Jung of BTS, and features British singer-songwriter Charli XCX.
The song was produced by Stargate, the same producer behind “Irreplaceable” by Beyonce, “So Sick” by Neyo, and “With You” by Chris Brown. The final mix and enhancement of the track was done by none other than Manny Marroquin.
BTS is actually releasing a whole album composed of original music for the group's mobile game debut. The album is set for release oh June 28 with pre-orders already open. To ensure quality there is going to be only one version of the album. ARMY’s not only get to enjoy original songs, but also get the chance to get a photo book, photo card, game coupon, and lenticular card, which comes with the CD and album.
BTS World is a story-based simulation mobile game that gives players the chance to be the group’s manager. The story takes place before the brand makes it debut, and the ultimate goal is to ensure that BTS become the superstars that they are today. If that’s not part of a dream come true then you’re probably not a member of the ARMY.
In the game, players get to undergo different missions where they can choose certain BTS member cards in order to complete the mission and move forward through the game. By being able to collect and upgrade the cards, players can open up more stories along the way. Players are also able to interact with the band virtually through a 1:1 interactive system which include voice and text messaging. There is even a chance to video call with the BTS members.
Netmarble has said that the game offers an exclusive look at 10,000 brand new photos along with 100 exclusive video clips.
BTS World is expected to be released on June 25 for both Android and iOS devices. Pre-registration for the game started last May 9.
According to Netmarble Chief Global Officer Seungwon Lee, the game was developed at the onset with the players in mind. He added that players not only experience something that is truly different “but they’re also getting access to a tremendous amount of new and exciting content we created with BTS specifically for the game.”
