Pudgy Penguins NFT Collection Announcing their Crypto Game
Pudgy Penguins, known for their Ethereum NFT collection, unveiled a trailer for their 3D browser game, "Pudgy World," set to launch in alpha by 2024 at Art Basel in Miami.
Post-controversy leadership changes saw $9 million funding, expanded retail presence, and viral social media content for Pudgy Penguins.
The game will allow NFT and plush toy owners to adopt their collectibles as 3D characters in the virtual world.
"Pudgy World" offers free-to-play access, enabling gamers to customize characters and engage in a story-driven journey following two penguins, Pudgy and Peaches, on yet-to-be revealed adventures.
CEO Luca Netz sees this launch as a significant leap in Web3 and NFT space, emphasizing user accessibility without prior blockchain knowledge.
Utilizing Matter Labs' zkSync for Ethereum scaling, the game promises user privacy advantages compared to traditional blockchain transactions.
Specifics about zkSync's implementation remain undisclosed, but Matter Labs foresees its potential to revolutionize gaming experiences in "Pudgy World."

Management Shift: LiquidX, a Web3 VC studio, now holds a 60% stake in Pixelmon and is steering its development. Giulio Xiloyannis from LiquidX becomes Pixelmon's CEO.

Accessibility and Memes: Pixelmon will introduce a free-to-play mode for all, reducing the dependency on owning monster NFTs, which are currently trading at a minimum price of 0.36 ETH ($475) on OpenSea.
