Status: Lost

Tales of Neopia, also sometimes referred to as World of Neopia, was a planned virtual world game based on the popular Neopets franchise. The game was officially announced in 2008^[1] and continued development until 2010 when the game was cancelled.

According to former Neopets developers, the reason for the game being cancelled is because Viacom had shut down multiple of their development projects.^[2]

Gameplay

The game would have been an isometric world combining 2D and 3D elements.^[3] The game also most likely would have shared similar features to PetPet Park, which was another Neopets-based MMO that existed during the game's development.
