Huh: The guy who was in charge of making a Neopets NFT game for its corporate owner took Neopets independent, stayed CEO, and then cancelled his own NFT game.
Neopets received from crypto companies earlier this year, the now-independent studio says it's immediately"transitioning away from" the Neopets Metaverse NFT game. Instead, it'll reuse some of that game's assets in a new mobile game called World of Neopets,"a social life-simulation game in which you live your ideal Neopian life from the perspective of a Neopet." For now at least, World of Neopets will not include NFTs or cryptocurrency.
"The Neopets Team has taken a close look at every nook and cranny of Neopets, and after doing so, the decision has been made to transition away from the Neopets Metaverse game and redistribute those resources to the development of a game that we feel can better reflect our values and vision," reads a notice on theThe company adds that the existing Neopets Metaverse NFTs"are all still available on the open marketplace" and that it'll"continue to support the Web3...
Aside from working on the new mobile game, World of Neopia says it will work on the original Neopets website, where it's apparently already fixing bugs and reviving games that were busted by the end of Adobe Flash support."Don't worry, the Neopets.com that you know and love isn't going anywhere; in fact, there are great things on the horizon for the classic virtual pet site that started it all," reads the announcement.

There's quite a bit more on the future of Neopets in , too, including news of"an exclusive virtual concert,""a brand new plot," and a giveaway to celebrate this"new era" of Neopets.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors
