Mgame Corporation announced on November 6, 2026, that pre-registrations for its upcoming mobile martial arts idle RPG Ghost Online Growing have surpassed 1 million users, according to Mgame and verified by reports from Ruliweb and Hungry App.
Ghost Online Growing Pre-Registrations Surpass One Million
- Pre-registrations crossed the 1-million mark on November 6, following a launch period that began on August 11.
- The title reimagines Mgame’s 2005 original online game Ghost Online into a stage-based idle mobile format.
- Mgame has scheduled the official commercial release of Ghost Online Growing for November 2026.
Tracking the 1-Million Pre-Registration Ascent
Mgame opened pre-registration channels on August 11, collecting the first 500,000 sign-ups within just nine days. Growth continued at a steady pace through September, pushing past 800,000 users before hitting the 1-million milestone by early November. Users accessed the sign-up portals through the official Mgame registration page, Google Play, Apple App Store, and One Store.
On August 26, the studio released a main narrative video produced using generative AI technology to showcase the world and lore of the original intellectual property. The following day, Mgame launched the “Ghost Costume Challenge,” asking users to post photos or videos of characters styled after the franchise across personal social media accounts. The challenge accommodated everything from professional outfits to household-item cosplay, tracking engagement via a real-time leaderboard.
Adapting a 2005 Online IP Into an Idle Format
Ghost Online Growing transitions the core elements of the 2005 MMORPG property into a streamlined mobile architecture. While retaining the original classes, martial arts, regional settings, and monsters, the development team replaced the traditional open-field exploration with a stage-based idle system. The primary storyline centers on the legendary martial artist Taehwa-nogun, who loses everything after a betrayal by his trusted disciple and sets out to recover his lost memories and combat techniques.
Players who registered early are slated to receive foundational growth items including currency, companion summon tickets, and equipment enhancement stones. Crossing the 1-million threshold unlocks additional bundled rewards, consisting of Red Water crystals and dungeon entry passes, which will arrive in player mailboxes following the official launch.
Final Preparations for the November Release
Lee Jae-chang, the executive director overseeing the project at Mgame, attributed the milestone to the combined backing of returning veterans of the original PC game and newcomers drawn to the mobile adaptation. “Surpassing 1 million pre-registrations is thanks to both those who remember the original Ghost Online and those who have sent us new interest,” Lee stated. He added that the team would spend the remaining window running final checks on content stability to ensure the product meets expectations upon arrival.
Mgame maintains its target for a November rollout across mobile storefronts. Additional details regarding the service launch remain accessible through the official pre-registration portal and community lounge spaces.
