Pudgy Penguins is preparing for the global launch of its new mobile game, Pudgy Party, with the release of a Soulbound Token (SBT) called “Early to the Party”.

The SBT, a non-transferable digital badge, is designed to reward early players who pre-download the game before its official release on 29 August.

Developed in partnership with Mythical Games, Pudgy Party introduces a multiplayer format inspired by titles such as Fall Guys and Stumble Guys, offering chaotic obstacle courses, survival challenges, and team-based competitions with up to 20 players in each match.

Pudgy Party launch set for 29 August

To claim the “Early to the Party” token, users must pre-download Pudgy Party from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and register through the Pudgy Party pre-download page.

Once the game launches, the SBT will be distributed directly to registered wallets.

The release comes just days ahead of the official launch of Pudgy Party. The game’s format allows players to compete against rivals while navigating slippery terrains and humorous hazards, with the goal of outlasting opponents.

With its casual and accessible style, the game is expected to attract a wide audience from within and beyond the crypto community.

Pudgy Penguins expands into gaming with Mythical Games

Pudgy Party is being launched in collaboration with Mythical Games, a developer known for integrating blockchain elements into gaming.

The format combines entertainment with digital collectibles, aligning with Pudgy Penguins’ broader Web3 strategy.

Pudgy Penguins has been steadily expanding its ecosystem from profile picture NFTs into mainstream consumer products, physical toys, and now mobile gaming.

The launch of Pudgy Party reflects an effort to link its brand identity with gaming culture while rewarding early supporters through blockchain-based features.

Pudgy Penguins embraces Soulbound Tokens

The “Early to the Party” token is part of Pudgy Penguins’ larger experiment with Soulbound Tokens.

Unlike regular NFTs, SBTs cannot be transferred or traded and instead serve as markers of reputation, participation, or achievement within digital ecosystems.

Pudgy Penguins has already been an early adopter of this concept. On the first anniversary of its NFT collection, it issued “truePengu” SBTs to holders.

In February 2023, the project also collaborated with Sotheby’s to release an SBT for authentication and participation during a Sotheby’s auction.

These moves positioned Pudgy Penguins as one of the first NFT projects to implement SBTs as part of its digital identity approach.

Web3 gaming and NFT identity converge

The integration of SBTs with Pudgy Party underlines a broader shift in Web3 gaming towards digital identity and reputation systems.

By rewarding early participants with a permanent, non-transferable badge, Pudgy Penguins is reinforcing user engagement while adding value to its growing ecosystem.

The global release of Pudgy Party on 29 August will be closely watched as Pudgy Penguins looks to connect gaming, NFTs, and blockchain identity.

With its early adoption of SBTs, collaborations with partners like Mythical Games, and a strategy that spans digital and physical markets, the project is positioning itself as a bridge between mainstream gaming audiences and blockchain-based innovation.
