Earlier this week, my nostalgic, 30-year-old brain lit up with joy at the news of a Neopets revival. The commendably transparent statement explained that “corporate baggage” has stopped the cutesy, world-building site –– my earliest introduction to online gaming –– from evolving over the last decade, with the statement alleging a lack of resources led to “bugs, unconverted pages, broken games, and a lack of new content.”
That’s all about to change. The old-school site is finally in the process of receiving a much-needed glow-up, the games are all set to be updated and there’s a whole host of intriguing new features on the way. Better still, the relaunch is being helmed by a brand new leadership team, one seemingly driven by passion and a love for what continues to make Neopets so special.
