Talofa Games Announces Run Legends - The First Fitness Battle Game That You Can Play With Friends Worldwide.

CUPERTINO, CA, May 18, 2023 


Get ready to sweat it out with Talofa Games' flagship game, Run Legends - the world's first fitness battle game that lets you play with friends from all over the globe! Run Legends will launch on the App Store as well as the Google Play Store on May 18, 2023. Run Legends is a thrilling game where your movements unleash attacks and special skills as you walk or run. Use these skills to defeat the villainous Sappers who are draining humanity's energy. Level up your gear, make new friends, and learn more about the world of Run Legends as you level up your fitness in real life.

“Fitness and gaming do not need to be mutually exclusive, and we are extremely proud to build a game that enables players to improve their health while having fun and playing with friends. We look forward to working with our players to scale this new social fitness experience and create a happier, healthier world,” said Jenny Xu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Talofa. 

But what sets Run Legends apart from other fitness games is that it lets you play in real-time alongside your friends, no matter where they are in the world. Whether running around your neighborhood or walking on the beach, you can control your character's movements and unleash powerful attacks by moving faster or slower.  Run Legends takes a unique approach to promoting mental and physical health by using a storyline that involves battling and overcoming symbolic representations of anxiety and fear, like the Critical Grandma. 

During the open beta period of the game, friendships were forged between players from Korea, Ukraine, the US, and dozens of other countries, who regularly worked together to defeat enemies by joining the same missions. The most active players have logged hundreds of miles by playing an early version of the game. That’s easy to do when the virtual announcer, the Operator, is calling out your team's actions and accomplishments, to keep you fully immersed in the midst of epic battles. 

“We’ve already had players tell us about how they’ve lost 5 pounds, found slivers of their former selves, and gotten more quality time with their dogs through Run Legends,” added Jenny. 

Features in Run Legends at the launch of the game:
  • Unlockable missions and rewards
  • Events with leaderboards prizes
  • Invite codes to send to your teammates for co-op battles
  • Collectible resources to craft into new gear that support a variety of movement styles and tactical roles
  • Customizable pace settings so players of any skill level can be the MVP of their team.
