Neopets, the beloved pet collecting game from the old days of the internet, is making a comeback! The new leadership team, known as The Neopets Team (TNT), has announced that Neopets is now under the control of an independent company called World of Neopia, Inc. This marks a fresh start for Neopets after years of mismanagement by various parent companies.

Heading the new company is Dominic Law, who previously led the unpopular crypto-centric spinoff, Neopets Meta. Law, along with employees from Neopets and Neopets Metaverse, played a crucial role in negotiating a management buyout deal with parent company NetDragon to save Neopets.

Exciting New Era for Neopets

With its newfound independence, Neopets is looking to embark on an exciting new era. The first order of business for the new leadership is to address long-overdue maintenance issues. This includes fixing broken Flash games and pages that have been neglected for years. Additionally, TNT has promised to introduce fresh content to the site.

One of the upcoming highlights is a new plot called “The Void Within,” set to launch in early 2024 as part of Neopets’ 25th anniversary celebration.

Focus on World of Neopets Mobile App

As an update to prior plans for Neopets Metaverse, TNT has decided to prioritize the development of a mobile app called “World of Neopets.” This app is described as a “social life-simulation game” where players assume the role of a Neopet. It offers various activities such as exploration, mini games, social interactions, and the option to decorate your own Neohome. While the game will incorporate some assets from Neopets Metaverse, it is being designed from scratch and has no crypto or NFT integrations–nor does it have any plans to introduce them.

Join the Neopets Community and Win Prizes

TNT is inviting fans to contribute to the revival of Neopets by engaging with the site. Whether it’s logging into old accounts or downloading mobile games like Island Builders or Faerie’s Hope, every interaction helps. As a token of appreciation, Neopets is holding a giveaway of 2 million Neocash, the site’s premium currency. Players who log in and complete specific tasks will have more chances to win. Additionally, TNT plans to launch a brand ambassador program to bring Neopets back into the spotlight.
