Netflix has launched Nextworld, a Roblox experience it describes as a “digital theme park”.
Netflix Nextworld is available now in early access form, and acts as a hub where players can access areas and games based on other Netflix series and films.
Each area links to a beta version of a Roblox game, with launch titles including Stranger Things: Escape from Hawkins High, One Piece: East Blue Brawls and Rebel Moon: Outskirts Battles.
Each world is led by a ‘guardian’, a character from that particular IP – including Dustin from Stranger Things, Luffy from One Piece and Jimmy from Rebel Moon.
Nextworld also includes mini-games based on other series, such as Is it Cake? and Cobra Kai.
“As you venture through Nextworld, you can collect objects and wearables from different shows and movies to decorate your Fan Pod, your own private space that you can keep to yourself or open up to friends,” Netflix says.
“As you build more currency across challenges on Nextworld, you’ll be able to expand your pod with even more exclusive items – including free limited User-Generated Content (UGC) like a Demogorgon Plushie Head or a One Piece Flag.”
“Plus, the Streamship – your home base within Nextworld – provides social features that allow you to attend events like premieres and viewing parties as well as view daily content bites at the Tudum Theater.”
Nextworld is available now and will receive its first update on May 17, when a Jurassic World: Chaos Theory event is added.
