Pudgy Penguins to Launch AAA Web3 Mobile Game in 2025

Pudgy Penguins, the Ethereum NFT project famous for its colorful and quirky characters, is now moving into the gaming industry. In a partnership with Mythical Games, they plan to launch a AAA mobile game in 2025. 

This collaboration brings together the force behind the Pudgy Penguins IP and the expertise of Mythical Games, a studio renowned for developing successful blockchain games such as NFL Rivals and Blankos Block Party.

The details of the game were revealed at Consensus 2024, generating significant buzz among the gaming and blockchain communities.

The game aims to capture the essence of the Pudgy Penguins brand, drawing upon its lore and humor while delivering high-quality gameplay and accessibility.

Game developers claim the game will meet today's high standards in terms of quality, playability, and accessibility.

As per reports, the game will be available to over five million players. It will utilize the Mythos Chain (MYTH), which has over one million active wallets.

“Building this with Mythical Games on the Mythical Platform and Mythos Chain, already used by millions of consumers, is going to be a major driver to further push Web3 with mainstream consumers,” said John Linden, co-founder and CEO of Mythical Games

Strong Communities and Gameplay

John Linden highlighted the importance of strong communities and great gameplay in the evolving world of Web3 gaming.

“Web3 in gaming is evolving quickly, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the need for games to be powered by strong communities and great gameplay,” said Linden.

He emphasized that Pudgy Penguins is the only Web3 project to truly go mainstream, thanks to its incredible retail partnerships with Walmart and Target and its rapidly growing social media following.

In the build-up to its release, Pudgy Penguins holders will be treated to exclusive content, sneak peeks of in-game footage, and the opportunity to help shape key aspects of the game’s development. This approach is designed to appeal to the existing Pudgy Penguins community and attract new players from the broader gaming market.
