-
A diverse Neopets customization and care system.
-
Personalized Neohomes to design, create, and visit.
-
A brand new battle combat system
-
A variety of PvE (Player versus Environment) activities to train and grow your Neopets.
-
A unique experience to buy, sell, and trade items as well as accessories in the reimagined shops and P2P Marketplace.
Upon completing all the elements of the alpha version, players can expect to receive exclusive in-game prizes.
“Behind the story of Neopets is a strong and supportive community of players who have also grown with the Neopets brand, diligently holding onto the nostalgia attached to it,” says Dominic Law, Chief Metaverse Officer for Neopets Metaverse. “Whether you’re a player who traversed the world of Neopia in the early Y2K days or someone who has joined us recently, we are excited to invite you on an epic adventure within Neopets Metaverse and the Web3 space.”
Since its inception, Neopets.com has attracted more than 150 million players over 22 plus years. With more than one million active users engaging with the classic browser-based experience, Neopets Metaverse is thrilled to bring players reimagined mini-games, inspired by a selection of beloved, fan-favorite flash games that Neopets fans have previously enjoyed.
