A new fantasy open-world RPG is heading to PC and mobile this August!
Titled Tower of Fantasy (ToF), this new game is pretty similar to Genshin Impact, the RPG game that took the world by storm. Aside from the similar aesthetics of anime characters and lush world, the new game also adds a futuristic spin to its alien world of Aida. You can also play with friends in its shared open world.
Here’s the official synopsis for the game:
In Tower of Fantasy, dwindling resources and a lack of energy have forced mankind to leave earth and migrate to Aida, a lush and habitable alien world. There, they observed the comet Mara and discovered an unknown but powerful energy called “Omnium” contained in it. They built the Omnium Tower to capture Mara, but due to the influence of Omnium radiation, a catastrophic disaster occurred on their new homeworld.
ToF also promises an interesting roster of characters, each with unique weapons and backstories you can explore. Some of these characters have already been revealed on their website, including Zeke, Shirli, Nemesis, and Frigg.
So when can you play Tower of Fantasy here in the Philippines? You can now pre-load the game for free on PC, Android, and iOS, but the global servers will officially open tomorrow, August 11. For more information, visit the official Tower of Fantasy website.
