LINE FRIENDS to release BT21 Tamagotchi later this year

BT21 is coming to your pockets soon as your next digital pet.

On Thursday (05/20), it was revealed that LINE FRIENDS have collaborated with Tamagotchi to release their charming BT21 characters avatars as digital pets for the handheld pet simulation game. The BT21 characters were co-created by LINE FRIENDS and BTS in 2017.

UPDATE (08/25): BT21 has announced a limited time offer for its special edition Tamagotchi collaboration.

BANDWAGON TV

The offer runs from August 25 (Wednesday) at 6 p.m. PDT (August 26 at 9 a.m. PHT/SGT) to August 31 (Tuesday).

The BT21 x Tamagotchi eggs will come in two versions—Space Color in blue and BT21 BABY in yellow.

The game will let users feed their BT21 characters milk, burgers, candy, or doughnuts as well as play mini games like dancing, making sweets, flying through outer space, and taking photos. 

The keychain-sized game will be available for 2,530 yen (approx. PHP 1,111) in late September 2021. Order the BT21 Tamagotchi from Bandai Japan here.

The 'Life Goes On' act are also set to release a rhythm and action mobile game tentatively called BTS Dream, featuring TinyTan characters, via Netmarble this year. They previously collaborated with Nexon on the multi-player online video game MapleStory, where they released limited edition items, including ARMY bomb and 'Black Swan' sets.

BTS are slated to release their second English single 'Butter' this Friday (05/21).
