Web3-Based Mobile Title Targeting 5 Million Gamers

Details of the forthcoming game were announced at Consensus 2024. The release stated that the game will be an immersive experience drawing upon the lore and humor that have made Pudgy Penguins popular, coupled with AAA quality, playability, and accessibility.

Scheduled to launch on the Mythical platform next year, the game will be available to over five million players and utilize the Mythos Chain (MYTH), which has over one 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 Holders

Leading up to its release, Pudgy Penguins holders will receive exclusive content, sneak peeks of in-game footage, and opportunities to influence key aspects of the game’s development. The game aims to appeal not only to the Pudgy Penguins community but also to the broader gaming market.

Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz stated that the company’s growth strategy combined with Mythical Games’ gaming expertise could position this project for success. He expressed eagerness to share developments with the community and to 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.
