Pudgy Penguins has partnered with Mythical Games to develop a blockchain-enabled AAA mobile game scheduled for release in 2025.
According to a press release, the new game will combine the popular Pudgy Penguins characters with the blockchain gaming expertise of Mythical Games, which has developed titles such as NFL Rivals and Blankos Block Party.
A Web3-based mobile title aimed at 5 million gamers
Details of the upcoming game were revealed at Consensus 2024. According to the press release, the game is an immersive experience based on the lore and humor that made Pudgy Penguins popular, combined with AAA quality, playability and accessibility.
The game is scheduled to be released on the Mythical platform next year and will be available to more than 5 million players using Mythos Chain (MYTH), which has over 1 million active wallets.
“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 Mythical Games CEO John Linden.
“Pudgy Penguins is the only web3 project to truly go mainstream through their incredible retail partnerships with Walmart and Target and their rapidly growing social media following,” said Linden.
Exclusive content for Pudgy Penguins owners
Leading up to launch, Pudgy Penguins owners will receive exclusive content, in-game footage previews, and features that will influence key aspects of the game’s development. The game is intended to appeal to the Pudgy Penguins community as well as the broader gaming market.
Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz explained that the company’s growth strategy combined with Mythical Games’ gaming expertise will help make this project a success. He said he is excited to share development with the community and gather feedback as the project progresses.
“We are excited to combine their efforts with a game that will be played by millions. 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 Linden.
