Pudgy Penguins Reveal 'Pudgy World' NFT Game Rollout PlansPudgy Penguins, the Ethereum NFT profile picture (PFP) collection first launched in July 2021, has unveiled a trailer at Art Basel in Miami for its 3D browser game experience, dubbed Pudgy World, which is slated to launch in alpha sometime in 2024. After controversy surrounding its original owner led to a buyout and change in leadership last year, Pudgy Penguins appointed an executive advisory board, raised $9 million in funding, stocked plush penguin toys in over 2,000 U.S. Walmart stores and Hot Topic locations.
Now, Pudgy Penguin fans can take their first steps onto the ice in Pudgy World’s lobby. When it fully releases, Pudgy Penguin NFT holders as well as plush toy owners will be able to adopt a virtual likeness of their collectibles as a 3D character in the world. Pudgy World will also be free-to-play, however, so gamers can hop into Pudgy World, choose whether to buy traits to customize their own characters, and “embark on a story-driven journey,” according to a statement. The story of Pudgy World will follow two penguins, Pudgy and Peaches, as they embark on as-yet-unrevealed adventures. Under the hood, Pudgy World will use Matter Labs’ Ethereum layer-2 scaling protocol zkSync.
