Chunky Penguinthe brand developer behind the Pudgy Penguins characters, and next-generation gaming technology studio Mythical Games have announced a partnership to create a Web3-enabled mobile video game.
The upcoming mobile immersive video game builds on the legend and humor of the Pudgy Penguins, combining the AAA quality, playability and accessibility that are synonymous with Mythical Games' title NFL Rivals. The new game is set to launch next year on the Mythical platform, home to NFL Rivals, which has over 5 million players, and Mythos Chain (MYTH), which has over 1 million active wallets.
“Web3 in games is rapidly evolving, but what remains the same is that games need to be underpinned by a strong community and great gameplay,” said John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games. “Pudgy Penguins is the only Web3 project that has truly gone mainstream through its great retail partnerships with Walmart and Target and its rapidly growing social media following. We're excited to combine their efforts with a game played by millions. Building this with Mythical Games on the Mythical Platform and Mythos Chain, which are already used by millions of consumers, will be a great catalyst for further expanding Web3 to mainstream consumers.”
“When we decided to create a mobile-first, AAA blockchain-based Pudgy Penguins game, we were excited to collaborate with Mythical Games,” said Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins. “Our growth strategy, which has reached millions of people, combined with Mythical Games' experience and success with games, makes this endeavor poised for success. We can't wait to show the Pudgy Penguins community what's coming next and solicit their feedback as development accelerates.”
Leading up to release, Pudgy Penguins owners will have access to exclusive content, previews of in-game footage and the opportunity to help shape key aspects of the game's development. The game is designed to appeal to the Pudgy Penguins community as well as the broader gaming market, further growing the Pudgy Penguins brand and ethos.
