Team BDS, Dupuis Editions, and the WEBTOON app are delighted to announce their exceptional partnership for the creation of a unique webcomic titled "LOKO TALES." This innovative project combines the epic universe of Team BDS, the editorial expertise of Maison Dupuis, and the audience of the WEBTOON platform (with over 2 million readers in France) to offer a unique experience to online comic fans.
Comics are read from left to right. Manga is read from right to left. With "webtoons," it's different – you scroll through stories from top to bottom on your smartphone screen. Specially designed for smartphones, this series narrates the future adventures of LOKO, the former mascot of the esport powerhouse, Team BDS, in his battle to save humanity in virtual arenas.
"LOKO TALES" explores a captivating universe where the world of esports meets the fantastic, blending competition, friendship, and epic adventures. This unprecedented collaboration aims to captivate a global audience by combining the dynamism of esports represented by Team BDS, the editorial experience of Les Éditions Dupuis, and the WEBTOON app from the South Korean giant NAVER, with over 100 million downloads worldwide.
For Team BDS, a rapidly growing esports team based in Geneva and present in four games (League of Legends, FIFA, Rainbow 6 Siege, and Rocket League), this collaboration with Dupuis and WEBTOON marks a new step in diversifying their media presence. With a long history in the publishing field, Dupuis contributes its editorial expertise to "LOKO TALES." As a key partner, Dupuis (with Antoine Piers as the writer and Vlashikito as the illustrator) ensures the narrative and visual quality of the webtoon, providing an immersive experience for readers. WEBTOON, a popular online comic platform worldwide, offers an interactive and accessible platform for publishing original content. The collaboration with Team BDS and Dupuis demonstrates WEBTOON's ongoing commitment to supporting innovative projects and diversifying its catalog.
"LOKO TALES" is now available for free on the WEBTOON app and on teambds.gg/en/lokotales in English and French, providing easy access to a global audience of comic and esports enthusiasts.
