The PENGU token is up 7% in the past 24 hours.
Pudgy Penguins has officially launched Pudgy World, a free-to-play browser-based game.
Set across a fictional frozen landscape called The Berg, the game features 12 unique towns for players to explore. The central storyline tasks players with helping the character Pengu track down a missing friend named Polly, with mini-games woven throughout. The multiplayer setup means players can explore The Berg together in real time.
The launch marks a significant milestone for one of crypto’s most successful crossover brands. Pudgy Penguins was purchased by current CEO Luca Netz in April 2022 and has since evolved from a forgotten relic of 2021’s NFT summer into one of the top collections in the NFT space.
What has set Pudgy Penguins apart from its peers is an aggressive push into mainstream consumer products. The brand’s IP coverage expanded steadily under Netz, with physical toys featured in Walmart and Amazon, a children’s book deal with Random House, and a mobile game called Pudgy Party, which became the top-ranked mobile racing game in Apple’s App Store within three days of its release.
The ecosystem’s PENGU token is up 7% in the past 24 hours, trading at a $440 million market capitalization.
