Pudgy Penguins is one of the most popular NFT collections in the industry. According to CryptoSlam data, the NFTs rank among the top 20 most-traded collections within the past 24 hours, with a total volume of approximately $160,000.

Mythical Games, known for successful blockchain games like NFL Rivals and Blankos Block Party, brings a wealth of experience to this new venture. The firm’s Mythos 2.0 network is almost live and reportedly boasts nearly 800,000 active wallets, according to Polkaworld.

So, this strategic collaboration would further engage the Pudgy Penguins community and attract the broader gaming market. Pudgy Penguins holders will receive exclusive content and sneak peeks of in-game footage before the launch. They will also have the chance to influence key game development aspects.

John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, emphasized the importance of communities in the evolving Web3 gaming landscape. He believes this partnership will drive greater adoption of Web3 among mainstream consumers. He said:

“Pudgy Penguins is the only web3 project to truly go mainstream through their incredible retail partnerships with Walmart and Target and their rapidly growing social media following.”

Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, corroborated this and shared his excitement about the partnership. He further highlighted the synergy between the NFT collection’s growth strategy and Mythical Games’ gaming expertise.
