Pudgy Party Game Shuts Down to Focus on Pudgy World
- The mobile battle royale game Pudgy Party has been shut down and is no longer available for download on iOS and Android.
- Pudgy Penguins decided to focus development efforts on Pudgy World, which is described as a “fully ours” game.
- Pudgy Party, developed with Mythical Games, allowed players to mint and trade tokenized in-game items as NFTs.
- CEO Luca Netz mentioned that the company lost millions supporting Pudgy Party despite its initial success.
- The Ethereum-based Pudgy World continues to grow, offering user-owned items tokenized as NFTs on Abstract, an Ethereum layer-2 network.
Pudgy Penguins has redirected its resources from the now-defunct Pudgy Party to enhance its flagship gaming product, Pudgy World. This shift reflects a strategic move towards a platform they fully control and can potentially expand further in the evolving crypto-gaming landscape.
Despite millions of downloads for Pudgy Party, financial losses led to its closure as the company pivots towards more sustainable projects like Pudgy World. Source
