Press Release
New Quests Come to MythWalker™ Today
Today NantGames added over 20 new story quests to its geolocation role-playing game (GRPG) Mythwalker™ for iOS and Android devices. Adding to MythWalker’s existing accessibility offerings including the Tap-to-Move feature to traverse the map without physical movement, one of the quests in today’s new content drop will teleport players to a specific, well-known landmark. We don’t want to spoil the surprise and reveal where this is, but we do suggest players create a Portal there so they can return to it later to explore local myths and more.
Completing quests will yield XP and rewards to further allow heroes to strengthen their gear and magical abilities.
The main story quest explores the origins and the motivations of the Drakates, a mysterious but formidable foe found throughout Mytherra. These lizard-like creatures have developed into multiple types of specialized warriors, spellcasters and technicians. The Drakates are integral to MythWalker’s main storyline.
Players will also embark on quests to help storekeeper Madra “Mads” Maclachlan safeguard the supplies coming in and out of the city of Hyport (which serves as a town hub for players to engage in various activities to help them on their adventures) from bandits and monsters. He has teamed up with a mob of Hobs – a Goblin tribe with a fondness for practical jokes and explosives. These allies have proven to be both valuable and unreliable trade partners, and players will need to guide them to stay on track.
Another quest line invites players to help the blacksmith Gem Stanna and take on pirates threatening Hyport – including Calypso’s Corsairs who have emerged as the most powerful of the roaming pirate groups and are infamous both as villains and heroes. Through these quests, players explore pirate traditions from around the world.
The MythWalker team will be at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, taking place April 26 and 27 at the University of Southern California (USC) campus. Come play the game and take home a bookmark featuring your favorite MythWalker characters and get a chance to win other giveaways.
Launched in November 2024, 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.

This is the first of many accessibility features currently being developed.
