Over a year before, BTS World released its final chapter of the game, Chapter 22, on June 2, 2022. The game had also been updated, making it easier for fans by increasing the drop rate for 5-star cards and providing more gems to players. Every card became available to purchase, with no longer just a select few.

Still, ARMYs were incredibly disappointed by the news. They hoped for an archive of some kind that allowed the game to live on, as not everyone had completed the game but wanted to watch BTS’s pre-recorded content for the story portion. Even the game’s social media channels were removed.

Now, BTS World is returning, but not quite the way ARMYs might have hoped for.

Nearly a year after BTS World was shut down, a BTS World Season 2 account appeared across social media, indicating the game’s return.

Teasers have now been released, including a trailer showing ARMYs what they can expect from the “new” game.

ARMYs are shocked that BTS World is returning after leaving them devastated last year.

Some are hoping this means that we’ll get a second soundtrack after the first was so iconic.

Pre-registration is now live.
