Today, Pudgy Penguins, the brand development business behind the popular Pudgy Penguins character series, and Mythical Games, a cutting-edge gaming technology studio, announced a collaboration to create a unique web3-enabled mobile video game. The collaboration brings together the creators of the well-known Pudgy Penguins characters with the game company behind NFL Rivals and Blankos Block Party, two of the most successful blockchain games ever.
At Consensus 2024, information about the upcoming game created in collaboration with Mythical Games was revealed. The next mobile game from Mythical Games, NFL Rivals, will be an immersive experience that incorporates the humor and story that have made Pudgy Penguins so endearing, along with AAA quality, playability, and accessibility. The new game is expected to debut in 2025 on the Mythical platform, which is also home to the Mythos Chain (MYTH), which has over a million active wallets, and NFL Rivals, which has over five million players.
John Linden, Mythical Games CEO said:
“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. 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. 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.”
Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins said:
“When we decided to create a mobile-first AAA blockchain-based Pudgy Penguins game, working with Mythical Games is something that excited me. Our growth strategy that has reached millions, combined with Mythical Games’ experience and success with gaming, sets up this endeavor for success. We can’t wait to show the Pudgy Penguins community what’s in store and solicit their feedback as development ramps up.”
Pudgy Penguins holders will have access to exclusive content, first looks at gameplay, and the chance to influence important areas of the game’s development leading up to its launch. In order to expand the Pudgy Penguins’ brand and ethos, the game is made to appeal to both the Pudgy Penguins community and the larger gaming market.
