<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/krafton/">Krafton Inc</a>, the creator of the hit battle royale game <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/pubg-mobile-new-map-livik/">PUBG</a>, will release a new title next month. And this time, it will combine tower defense elements with a new genre.</p>

<p>The South Korean developer announced they will launch <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/defense-derby/">Defense Derby</a> globally on August 3. Defense Derby can be played on iOS and Android phones, they said.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/risingwings/">RisingWings</a>, a Krafton subsidiary, is developing Defense Derby. To celebrate the official release, developers will roll out additional content. These are "Quest Mode" and enhanced Friendly Derby and spectator features.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/defense-derby/">Defense Derby</a>'s launch will also mark Krafton's foray into a new genre called "betting royale." The upcoming mobile game will combine tower defense and betting royale elements.</p>

<p>In the betting royale, each round begins with a "scouting stage." It lets players outbid each other in recruiting units needed to assemble their squads, Krafton described.</p>

<p>Players then must strategically deploy them within their castles. The developers added that the last player standing, with their castle intact, will emerge as the winner.</p>

<p><q>We are eager for players to engage with the innovative 'Betting Royale' genre this August,</q> said Rafael Lim, Senior Head of the Publishing Business Division at Krafton.</p>

<p>Aside from the betting royale mechanics, Defense Derby will also contain other modes. These included dungeon, PvE Defense, and idle defense modes. Developers will also introduce a "Friendly Derby," where players can team up with friends.</p>

<p>According to Krafton, Defense Derby had a successful soft launch in six countries: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Canada, and Hong Kong.</p>

<p>Developers also said they had garnered positive feedback from players during the game's soft launch.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Krafton has kicked off pre-registration for Defense Derby and will remain so until its official launch. They said pre-registered users will receive a "Welcome Package" filled with in-game bonuses at launch.</p>
