MythWalker Expands its Fantasy World with New Tethering Feature and Content for One-of-a-Kind RPG Geolocation Experience

Co-op Feature Brings Players Together to Battle Fantastical Creatures in Immersive Environments

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – May 21, 2025 – NantGames has launched major updates to its geolocation fantasy role playing game MythWalker. A first for geolocation games, a new significant Tethering feature enables synchronous co-op gameplay, giving players the ability to explore the parallel world of Mytherra together – even if they are miles apart in the (real) world. Also new to the game are new creatures that have revealed themselves in Mytherra – the Wyldevae. These enchanting fairies beautifully blend magic and combat, and heroes will have to come up with clever strategies to defeat them.

Tethering is a new groundbreaking feature that allows players global synchronous gameplay for up to three players.  Up to two players can join a lead friend to explore the leader’s local landscape together. For example, a player in New York and another in Tokyo can tether to a lead friend in London, and together they can explore the streets of London as a party. Together they can complete story quests, battle enemies and gather resources. The more players in a party the better rewards.

The content updates also introduce new adversaries called Wyldevae. Don’t be fooled by these alluring beings, as they are known to be tricksters. These fairy creatures found throughout Mytherra are tough adversaries. Three kinds of Wyldevae live throughout Mytherra, each dropping unique items and abilities when defeated in battle:

  • Bergavae are found in Mountain regions and resemble moths

  • Strandavae are found on Islands and embody characteristics of fish

  • Fennavae are found in Swamps and resemble dragonflies

Players will also encounter new quests related to the Wyldevae, giving more insight into the motivations of these fascinating but deadly creatures.

These robust content additions come on the heel of game updates in April, which added over 20 new quests to MythWalker. Among the new content introduced, players were transported to Stonehenge to complete a quest, were given a hobgoblin ally in battle for certain quests, and more. Diving deeper into lore that is central to MythWalker, players explored the storylines of the Pirates and Drakates – two prominent groups of adversaries in Mytherra.

“Our team has always envisioned MythWalker as a living, growing world steeped in rich traditions and lore, much like the real world we live in,” said NantGames creative director Jesse Snyder. “This expansion is a significant one as Tethering is going to be a real game changer, and players can be assured we plan on developing more awesome experiences for the future. Beyond game content, we’re committed to continue to find ways to make our geolocation game more accessible to players, connecting friends in the real world.”

MythWalker is a geolocation fantasy role-playing game for iOS and Android devices. Players can take part in exploring combat, magic, crafting, resource minigames and more. They can venture out in the real world to interact with the game, or continue their adventures from the comforts of home with Navigators using Portal Energy. MythWalker takes players to Mytherra, a fantastic parallel world to Earth, where they are recruited by a powerful being, known only as The Child, to investigate attacks on her world. She guides players on mystical quests and adventures to uncover the truth about the attackers, explores the connection and shared histories between Earth and Mytherra, and leads the heroes in defending their home.

Long Description

Step into Mytherra, a fantastical, parallel planet to Earth ─ a world where throughout history its people and mystical creatures have infiltrated the dreams of humans and over time, formed the basis of Earth’s many earths and legends. Suddenly Mytherra is under attack by an unknown group, which poses a direct threat to Earth as well. A powerful being, known only as The Child, has reached out through the Veil into our world seeking help. She recruits you – the Mythwalker – to uncover the truth about the attackers, explore the connection between the two worlds, and lead Mytherra’s heroes in the defense of their home. Will you take up arms, unravel the mystery between Earth and Mytherra, and save the planets and The Child?

MythWalker is a geolocation fantasy RPG adventure mobile game that brings The Child and Mytherra to life through an overworld traversal system, using real locations to tell the stories of Earth’s myths and legends. With narrative-driven quests tied to an intriguing storyline, a cast of magical and memorable characters, a deep progression system, and robust multiplayer modes, MythWalker will connect players worldwide through meaningful global gameplay.

In addition to local co-op play, Tethering is a new significant feature that allows global synchronous gameplay for up to three players. Whether they are somewhere nearby in the same neighborhood or oceans apart, friends can explore Mytherra together.

The enchanting fairies known as the Wyldevae show themselves as new foes in Mytherra, with three variations encountered throughout different biomes. New quests have been introduced in MythWalker to explore the mysteries of the Wyldevae and will reward heroes with new gear and magical abilities.

Twenty new quests were also recently added and explore the stories of the lizard-like Drakates and the Pirate groups threatening Hyport, Mytherra’s town hub. Completing these quests will yield XP and rewards, plus unlock a portal to visit Stonehenge.

Features

PLAY AS EPIC HEROES

With three species to choose from there is a character to match your playstyle. The Wulven are loyal dog-folk, small but hearty, whose cheerful nature and ferocity in battle make them valuable team players. The Annu are a feathered, birdlike people, driven by pride, whose strength lies in wielding powerful magic. Finally, there are Humans, a well-balanced and versatile people, who can excel in any role.

Players will have a choice of three playable classes. The Warrior is a classic mix of defense and powerful attacks. The Spellslinger is a fast-moving ranged combat specialist. The Priest is a healer and support fighter, focused on endurance and protection.

Can’t choose just one? MythWalker allows multiple characters to be created so players can experience any combination of species and class they want to try.

NAVIGATORS AND TAP-TO-MOVE

Each player is paired with a Navigator, an ethereal spirit form that players use on Mytherra. Players gather Portal Energy during their adventures, enabling them to use their Navigator. This grants thetap-to-move feature, allowing players to interact with points of interest and engage in combat without physically moving. This is the first of many accessibility features currently being developed.

TETHERING AND CO-OP PARTY PLAY

Tethering is a groundbreaking new feature allowing synchronous co-op gameplay from anywhere in the world – a first for geolocation games. Up to two friends can join a lead player to traverse the leader’s local landscape together as a party, whether they are nearby or on other sides of the real world. Friends can connect with each other easily through the new Friends List. Parties have no time limit and allow players to take on harder enemies together while enjoying a boost to XP, gold, and other rewards. Tethering expands MythWalker’s existing social gameplay functionality, which offers local co-op and party play.

EXPLORE THE WORLD BY PORTALS

Mythwalkers can drop up to three portals to different parts of the world via the Hyport Gateway in Hyport. Portals can be traveled to by tapping on them from a globe interface or from a list view at the Gateway. Players are automatically put in Navigator form when traveling through a portal so you can roam and freely explore your new location.

HYPORT: AN EMERGING CITY

Welcome to the soul of Mytherra - the city of Hyport, which serves as a town hub for players to engage in various activities to help them on their adventures. Here players will meet Madra “Mads” MacLachlan, a legendary, but now retired, Wulven adventurer, who sells all kinds of goods at Mads’ Market. They can stop by Stanna’s Forge to meet Gem Stanna the Blacksmith, who oversees the crafting of gear and can help with upgrading weapons and armor.

EXCITING MINI GAMES

Swing your Pickaxe in the Mining mini-game and get to the bonus rounds for more rewards. Well-timed hits will earn you a bounty of metal - and if you’re lucky, rare stones to help you craft new armor and weapons. Try your hand at the Woodcutting mini-game, where precise swipes will chop down trees, yielding wood and other materials to craft useful items for your adventures.
