Fantasy Network, the World’s First Social Media Metroidvania Launches on August 6

Raven Travel Studios is partnering with IMGN.PRO to bring their “socialvania” to Steam, Epic Games Store and other digital platforms. Fantasy Network turns the metroidvania genre upside down, mixing tight 2D platforming with a satirical story about fame, influencers, and saving the world. Players will take on the role of Lyn, a young adventurer whose mother has been kidnapped. Because of this, Lyn must win vicious talent shows, honing her skills to a razor’s edge. Then, travel through the colorful lands of Holua, battle bizarre enemies, make friends across her journey, and dig up the ancient truth buried beneath the world’s shiny surface. Lyn’s journey takes the interconnected exploration and ability-based progression of a metroidvania, and combines it with a modern social network that forms an integral part of the game’s world.

Instead of relying solely on combat, Fantasy Network regularly shifts between exploration, platforming and a wide variety of Talent Competitions. In addition to racing events, retro arcade challenges and other activities offer a change of pace while remaining closely connected to Lyn’s adventure. In conclusion

Fantasy Network immediately caught our attention with the way it expands the familiar metroidvania formula,” said Jakub Ryłko of IMGN.PRO. “Raven Travel Studios has created a distinctive world that combines exploration and combat with social interactions, humor and an impressive variety of minigames. We are excited to support the studio and help bring the game to players around the world.”

“We wanted Fantasy Network to feel familiar to metroidvania fans while still offering something they had not experienced before,” said Paolo Cattaneo of Raven Travel Studios.
