variety.comJennifer Maas TV Business Writer Netflix is teaming up with Roblox to launch its own “digital theme park” on the online gaming platform.
Dubbed “Nextworld,” the web-based universe will feature characters and content from Netflix IP including “Stranger Things,” “One Piece,” “Cobra Kai” and “Rebel Moon.” The offering debuts in early access Wednesday on Roblox. “Once you enter Nextworld — which is your central hub in the Netflix universe — you can dive deeper into the series and films you love,” Netflix wrote in a blog post. “(Think: A digital theme park full of characters, easter eggs, and games.) Immersive games like ‘Stranger Things: Escape from Hawkins High,’ ‘One Piece: East Blue Brawls,’ and ‘Rebel Moon: Outskirts Battles’ will connect you with your favorite characters in a whole new way.
While you’re there, say hi to Dustin from ‘Stranger Things,’ Luffy from ‘One Piece’ and Jimmy from ‘Rebel Moon,’ who’ll serve as guardians of their respective worlds.
Some of them might even guide you through your quests and you never know who else you might encounter.” While Roblox itself is a free online gaming platform, users are able to purchase “Robux,” which are in-game currency used to purchase virtual objects.
