MythWalker™ Closed Beta Expands to Latin and South America Today

NantGames’ iOS and Android Geolocation Role-Playing Game (GRPG) Adds Several New Features

Ready to step into the parallel world of Mytherra? Heroes in Latin and South America, this is your opportunity! Today Mythwalker™ expands the closed beta of its anticipated geolocation role-playing game (GRPG) for mobile devices, adding several new features to the experience. To join the regional beta, visit MythWalker.com. Android users can access the beta directly here. Be sure to check out the MythWalker live-action trailer here, showing players combating evil creatures together in the real world.

In the MythWalker regional beta, which was previously only available in Australia, adventurers meet the mysterious guide known as The Child who seeks Earth’s help to save her world Mytherra. Players take on quests as one of three playable classes – Warriors, Spellslingers and Priests. From the home hub of Hyport, players engage in various activities to help them on their quests. Out in the world, they can find minigames that yield valuable materials for crafting. Navigators and the Tap-to-Move feature allows players to interact with points of interest and engage in combat without physically moving. These are the first of many accessibility features currently being developed.

Today’s regional beta expansion includes major additions to the existing MythWalker game, most notably:

• A tutorial for first-time players

• Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese language Localization

• Expanded character customization options including new hairstyles for human Heroes, player abilities, and new Annu and Wulven breeds

• Encounters with Hobgoblins - a powerful but chaotic family of magic wielders. There are currently five varieties of Hobgoblins, each with their own attack style, including Hob Pranksters armed with glitter bombs. When defeated, Hobgoblins potentially drop valuable armor, wands, and staffs as rewards.

• Rare craftable armor, helmets, weapons, and upgrades, including two new armor, helmet, and weapon types for each Hero class.

• Beta participants will be rewarded with valuable in-game items when the game launches, including gems, gold, portal stones, potions and crafting materials. For details on how to redeem these rewards, please visit the MythWalker FAQ here.

Today’s expansion makes MythWalker available to most countries in Latin and South America, excluding Brazil and Mexico. The full list of supported countries can be found here. Beta player feedback will help improve the game and be considered as NantGames adds new classes, enemies, player abilities and more in the future.

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 and the Tap-to-Move mode. 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. Details and regional beta requests are being accepted at the game’s website at https://mythwalker.com/.

LONG DESCRIPTION

Mytherra is a fantastical parallel planet to Earth ─ a world where throughout history its people and mystical creatures have infiltrated the dreams of humans. Over time, these visions have formed the basis of Earth’s many myths and legends. Mytherra is now under attack, 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.

MythWalker is a mobile geolocation fantasy RPG adventure 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 fun multiplayer modes, MythWalker will connect players worldwide through meaningful global gameplay.

Playable on iOS and Android, MythWalker is in Closed Beta and will be rolling out into more regions in Summer 2024. Sign up at MythWalker.com.

FEATURES

The following features will be available in Closed Beta. Additional content, including new social features, new stories and quests, new characters, and more will be added in later Beta tests. Follow us at @MythWalkerGame across all social channels to be among the first to know when new content is dropping.

PLAY AS EPIC HEROES

Mytherra is home to a number of sentient species, and three will be available to players in the Closed Beta. 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.

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 quests. 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.

CO-OP PARTY PLAY

Up to three (3) local players can form an adventuring party. Parties have no time limit and allow players to take on harder enemies together while enjoying a boost to XP, gold, and other rewards. Mix and match character classes and species with friends to find the perfect combination of skills to beat the 60+ enemies in nine (9) different environments currently in-game.

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 the tap-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

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.
