Ateam Inc. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Japan; president: Takao Hayashi; hereafter “Ateam”) is proud to announce that on December 25, 2015 (Fri.), a pre-registration campaign began for a major upcoming update to monster battle game Dark Summoner, downloaded over 7.5 million times worldwide.

Information on the Upcoming Update Revealed!
Use Divine Evolution to Become More Powerful than Ever!

Ateam gave some information today on the new Evolution system to be included in the major update. See below for details.

*Details are subject to change in the final release of the update.

■ Take Your Monsters to Godhood with New “Divine Evolution”!
By meeting certain conditions with a Rank S Monster, you will be able to take them to unheard levels of strength! The appearances of Monsters will also be enhanced with Divine Evolution, so their looks will reflect their immense power!

■ Missions Receiving an Overhaul! Can You Stand Up to the new Powerful Bosses?
Missions will be completely different from the Missions that you have seen so far in Dark Summoner. The key to completing these new Missions will be a strong Formation, and perhaps a bit of luck! Accompanying these Missions are brand new stories to immerse yourself in the world of Triaterra. Special challenges that require you to use your wits to clear the new Missions with certain conditions are planned for the future! Take along your new divine Monsters to face the powerful enemies that await you!

■ Get a Running Start with Pre-Registration Rewards!

What is Dark Summoner?
Dark Summoner is one of the most popular online dark fantasy adventure games for smartphones.
In the game, players assemble and command a custom army of Monsters to take on challenging Missions and defeat powerful Bosses. When assembling their armies, players must Summon Monsters, raise them into more powerful creatures, and find the strongest Monster combinations to dominate their enemies. Player-versus-player battles and powerful Raid challenges are both featured in the game, allowing players to choose how they interact with fellow Summoners.
The game features more than 5,000 Monsters featuring original artwork created specifically for Dark Summoner by many internationally renowned artists.
