The web3 spin-off of the classic virtual pet game Neopets raised $4 million in a new funding round. Participants in the round included: Polygon Ventures, Blizzard Avalanche Ecosystem Fund, Hashkey Capital, IDG Capital, and its parent company Chinese gaming firm NetDragon Websoft. Neopets Meta Chief Metaverse Officer is currently Dominic Law.
Neopets Meta launched the alpha version of its metaverse in August 2022. Several popular games were revamped for web3 including Turmac Roll, Meera Chase, and Ultimate Bullseye. It also recently rolled out Neopets Meta Alpha: Winter Edition, which features Neopia Central and Terror Mountain, two popular areas on the original Neopets game map, which is available to play until the end of the month.
