In a bold leap for the mobile gaming landscape, NantGames, the gaming division of NantWorks, has officially launched MythWalker™, a geolocation-based fantasy role-playing game (RPG) now available worldwide on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Merging classic RPG mechanics with groundbreaking geolocation technology, MythWalker invites players into a richly immersive world where fantasy and reality seamlessly intersect.
The game’s premise is steeped in high fantasy: players are summoned by a mysterious entity known only as “The Child” to safeguard Earth and its parallel world, Mytherra. As the two realms collide, heroes must navigate a vivid tapestry of allies, enemies, and quests, battling ancient evil forces threatening to destroy both worlds. Gamers take on the mantle of Warriors, Spellslingers, and Priests, leveraging both magic and might to vanquish foes and restore harmony.
Innovative Gameplay Mechanics Redefine Accessibility
What sets MythWalker apart is its commitment to accessibility. The game introduces an innovative Tap-To-Move mechanic powered by Portal Energy, enabling players to explore the virtual world without physically moving in real life. This feature is enhanced by the inclusion of Navigators, AI companions that guide players through their journeys.
Another standout feature is the introduction of Portals. Players can establish up to three Portals linked to real-world locations—either places they are currently visiting or have visited in the past. These Portals allow players to virtually access specific areas of the game world, enhancing exploration possibilities. Portal Energy, which governs these abilities, can be replenished over time or earned through in-game achievements, including defeating enemies or completing tasks.
A Legacy of Talent and Ambition
NantGames is helmed by a team of industry veterans hailing from prominent studios such as Infinity Ward, Epic Games, Riot Games, and Square Enix. With MythWalker, the studio has delivered its inaugural project—a title that embodies a fusion of AAA game design principles and cutting-edge technology.
“From the outset, our team envisioned something extraordinary for MythWalker, and they’ve delivered on that promise,” said Michael Madden, Executive Producer at NantGames. “We’ve taken the core elements that players love in a AAA RPG and elevated them with cutting-edge technology, creating an immersive experience that truly transforms the world around them.”
The development team is committed to MythWalker’s long-term success, promising ongoing updates and new content to ensure players remain engaged and invested in the game’s expanding universe.
A Game for the Modern Adventurer
MythWalker seamlessly blends real-world interaction with classic RPG elements. From crafting and combat to resource-gathering mini-games, the title transforms routine outings into magical adventures. For those preferring to play from the comfort of home, the Tap-To-Move mode and Navigators make exploration possible without venturing outside.
Set in Mytherra—a fantastical world tethered to Earth—players are guided by The Child, uncovering the shared histories and secrets between the two realms. Mystical quests and epic battles pave the way for a compelling narrative filled with twists, lore, and revelations.
Free-to-Play, With Endless Possibilities
MythWalker is free to download and play, with optional in-app purchases available through both the App Store and Google Play. Players can stay updated on new features and game developments by following MythWalker’s social channels.
For those ready to embark on an extraordinary journey, MythWalker offers a portal to a world where the boundaries of reality and fantasy blur, creating an experience unlike any other in the mobile gaming sphere.
