Garena Raises Nyi Roro Kidul to Become a Fantasy Town Game Character

Targeting local players, Garena Indonesia again makes innovations by incorporating local characters into its games. This time the figure of Nyi Roro Kidul will be appointed as one of the characters who fill the mobile game made by Garena Indonesia called Fantasy Town.

In addition to displaying the character of the Queen of the South Coast as the mainstay of the game, Garena Indonesia will also include several characters from West Java folklore, namely Kabayan and Nyi Iteung. In a press release, Fantasy Town Producer, Edmundo Swidoyono admitted that his party is interested in adding a local touch to the Fantasy Town game because he wants to take part in preserving Indonesian local culture.

This method is considered effective considering that the folklore that is the root of Indonesian culture may not be of interest to today’s children. In this way, the legendary figure who has begun to be forgotten can be remembered by Indonesian children again.

“We hope that introducing folklore characters through a farming game will be much more effective, considering that folklore which is the root of Indonesian culture may not be of interest to today’s children,” said Fantasy Town Producer Edmundo Swidoyono in a press release, Tuesday (9/09). 6/2021).

No doubt Garena Indonesia’s good intentions received a positive response and full support from the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) led by Wishnutama. At the launch of the Fantasy Town game, Wishnutama hoped that more game developers would follow Garena Indonesia’s steps by promoting and introducing Indonesian folklore through a mobile game that has recently become a favorite.

“Mobile Games as one of the sub-sectors of the creative economy, especially the development of gamification, seems quite effective to introduce culture and folklore through a mobile game which has recently become a prima donna,” said Wishnutama.

“We hope that in the future there will be more game developers who promote and introduce Indonesian folklore, in line with the Proudly Made in Indonesia movement,” he added

Garena Complete Fantasy Town Game Content

It’s not enough just with characters, in collaboration with Arum Games, Garena Indonesia also continues to complement the content in the game by including many elements that show the face of Indonesia. Just like the Minecraft game, this game that carries the farming simulator genre will bring the three characters that are local cultural requirements into the city that the player builds.

Not only building a city, through this game players can also garden and manage it in order to survive the attacks of evil monsters called Trolls. In addition, the game, which will be released through the App Store and Play Store, also allows players to be adventurous to explore new places. Not to forget, Garena also added a skin feature to this fantasy world game. Which with this feature each player can easily be creative in modifying his character.

Pre-Registration Event

Currently, users can get and use the three legendary characters for free by pre-registering and registering through the fantasytown.co.id official page.

Later, all players who have registered during the pre-registration period will be entitled to in-game prizes that have been prepared by Garena. Players also have the opportunity to get other attractive prizes such as 1000 gold, rare summon scroll x3, and 100 rubies in this pre-registration event.

The method is very easy, just do a daily spin during the event. Lucky players will get a prize in the form of a Radu character inspired by Madurese traditional clothes. Not only that, players also have the opportunity to get iPhone X for free.

To be able to take part in the daily spins, players will be asked to complete several missions, such as logging into the fantasytown.co.id website every day then inviting friends, and following Fantasy Town’s official accounts on social media such as Instagram (@fantasytown.id), Facebook ( @FantasyTown.ID), and YouTube (Garena Fantasy Town Indonesia).

Please note, this is not the first time Garena has featured characters identical to Indonesian faces into a game. Previously, in 2021, the Arena of Valor game had a new hero with a local flavor, Wiro Sableng. The resurgence of the armed warrior Ax Maut Naga Geni 212, Wiro Sableng to the Arena of Valor game, is the result of the collaboration between Garena AOV Indonesia with Lifelike Pictures and Caravan Studio.

In addition, there is also actor Joes Taslim who is used as the first local character in Garena Free Fire (FF). The appearance of Jota’s character as a new character in the Free Fire game is the wish of the Survivors. As a result, not long after it was released, the Jota character was in demand by players.

This globally playable character has the best combos when paired with Laura who can support from the back line. Or with Rafael who is able to kill the enemy silently with his Dead Silent skill.

The presence of Fantasy Town will certainly add to the repertoire of the country’s game industry. Which with these characters is expected to be able to add options for players. Stay tuned for the latest and updated news about games and anime only at Game News.
