Netflix has ventured further into digital entertainment by partnering with Roblox to launch “Nextworld”, an innovative digital theme park on the popular gaming platform. This virtual space serves as a hub where players can explore areas, characters, and games based on Netflix properties, including popular titles like “Stranger Things” and “One Piece”.
A New Dimension of Entertainment
Nextworld offers a diverse array of mini-games and interactive experiences:
- “Is It Cake?”: Players guess whether displayed objects are cakes or not.
- “Cobra Kai Miyagi-Do Balancing Board”: A balance challenge inspired by the hit show.
Netflix describes Nextworld as a digital theme park teeming with characters, Easter eggs, and games, providing a novel way for users to interact with their favorite Netflix characters.
Iconic Characters and Immersive Missions
As visitors explore Nextworld, they will encounter iconic characters such as Dustin from “Stranger Things”, Luffy from “One Piece”, and Jimmy from “Rebel Moon”, who act as guardians of their respective worlds. These characters guide players through missions and offer chances for surprise encounters with other beloved characters.
Collectibles and Customization
Players can collect various items and accessories inspired by Netflix series, which they can use to decorate their ‘Fan Pods’—private spaces within the game that users can personalize and share with friends. As players earn virtual currency by completing challenges in Nextworld, they can expand their pods with even more exclusive items.
