NantGames announces studio’s first mobile game, MythWalker

NantGames :

El Segundo, California – November 16, 2023 – NantGames is excited to announce MythWalker, the first title to be developed and published by this new studio.


MythWalker is a geolocation fantasy RPG which will be released on iOS and Android devices. It is set on Mytherra, a fantastic parallel world to Earth, and players will be recruited by a powerful being, known only as The Child, to investigate attacks on her planet. As the narrator of the game, The Child will send players on mystical quests and adventures to uncover the truth about the attackers, explore the connection and shared histories between the two worlds, and lead Mytherra’s heroes in the defense of their home.


A closed beta is available now in Australia, with other regions being added throughout 2024. Sign up at MythWalker.com.


The first chapter of a memorable story and journey


Closed Beta will allow players access to try out a variety of gameplay features. There will be three hero species to pick from: The Wulven, loyal dog-folk; the Annu, magical bird-like people; and Mytherran Humans, who are versatile and well-rounded. Players will also have a choice of three playable classes – The Warrior, the Spellslinger, and the Priest – each with different strengths and combat approaches, to accommodate different playstyles. With more than 60 enemies to discover in different locations and biomes, players will have plentiful opportunities to experiment with different moves, spells, and weapons.


Mining and woodcutting mini-games will allow players to collect materials that can be used or sold in the home city of Hyport. Players can craft and upgrade weapons and armor at Stanna’s Forge, under the tutelage of Gem Stanna the Blacksmith. Or they can visit Mad’s Market the city’s general store, to buy and sell items with the retired Wulven adventurer Madra “Mad” MacLachlan.


Later beta tests will offer additional gameplay modes, including social features, multiplayer/co-op, story quests, characters, and more.

“Our small and passionate team has been working on this game for almost four years and it’s very exciting to finally share MythWalker with the world. There’s an opportunity to innovate in the geolocation game space and we are fully committed to bring players meaningful experience through gaming and exploring the world we live in. This is just the beginning for NantGames and MythWalker. We have a robust roadmap full of new features and surprises throughout the year and we are dedicated to making this a rewarding, highly engaging, and fun experience for all players to enjoy”, said Mike Madden, Executive Producer at NantGames.
