Zerowake GATES: BL RPG Opens Pre-Registration Across SEA

Zerowake GATES: BL Multi-Universe RPG Opens Pre-Registration Across Southeast Asia

The highly anticipated Boy’s Love (BL) title, Zerowake GATES, has officially opened pre-registration on major mobile storefronts across the world, including stores throughout Southeast Asia (SEA). The game is a BL Multi-Universe RPG Gacha that has garnered immense attention for its unique crossover feature, bringing together beloved characters from various popular BL webtoons. This mobile launch confirms the release of the safe-for-work (SFW) version to a massive audience in the SEA region, complementing the existing pre-registration for the 18+ version on the EROLABS platform.

Story and Strategic Synergy

Zerowake GATES is set in a post-apocalyptic world where Earth has been devastated by an alien “Creature” invasion. This catastrophe has separated humanity into two essential groups: the powerful Espers and the calming Guides.

• The Protagonist: The story centers on Han Gaon, who wakes up with a piece of a dangerous meteorite in his chest, making him a central figure in the escalating conflict.
• Espers and Guides: Espers are men with immense power who are constantly on the brink of madness. Guides are men with the ability to calm their turmoil, often requiring physical or emotional proximity. The story explores how love, obsession, and betrayal intertwine with the fight for survival.
• Crossover Universes: The most exciting element is the unprecedented crossover of characters from hit BL webtoons, including Painter of the Night, Low Tide in Twilight, Limited Run, and Virtual Strangers. These characters join the original cast from Storytaco in one shared, collapsing world.
• Strategic Combat: The combat utilizes a strategic turn-based system. The core gameplay mechanic involves pairing Espers and Guides in battle to unlock powerful couple synergies. This turns their emotional bonds into effective strategic weapons against enemy weaknesses.

Pre-Registration Details for SEA

The pre-registration is available now for players across SEA and the globe, offering a glimpse at the game’s core experience.

• SFW Version: Pre-registration is open on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. This version focuses on the core RPG, narrative content, and strategic combat.
• NSFW Version: A mature, 18+ version featuring additional scenes is also available for pre-registration exclusively on the EROLABS platform. This dual release strategy ensures the game can reach all segments of the BL community.
• Platform Availability: While the immediate focus is on mobile, the game is also listed on Steam, indicating a potential PC launch that could offer players cross-platform progression in the future.

Our Take: The Ultimate BL Power Couple Strategy

This game is an absolute strategic masterstroke for the BL community in Southeast Asia. It understands that the power of a good pairing isn’t just about the romantic tension; it’s about their ability to kick alien butt as a united front. Zerowake GATES is genius for literally monetizing the emotional chemistry of your favorite ships, making your strategic decisions directly dependent on which two handsome, brooding men you want to see team up. You are not just building a deck; you are building a relationship, and that relationship determines whether the world survives. That’s a level of emotional investment you just don’t get in your average gacha game.
