Over the last few years, NFT-native brands have sought ways to expand their IPs beyond just collectibles, and began to dive into games, anime, merchandise, metaverses, and even full-blown entertainment ecosystems. While the first wave of experiments in 2021 often stumbled due to rushed execution and unsustainable models, a new generation of builders is learning from those early missteps. The Plooshies, which launched in 2022, are a standout example of how to evolve an NFT collection into a dynamic, player-first brand. With a clear visual identity, ongoing community engagement, and now a gaming roadmap anchored in real-time competition, The Plooshies are proving that patience, creativity, and Web3-native thinking can turn an IP into something much larger.
Who Are The Plooshies?
The Plooshies are an imaginative Web3 brand built around a collection of 3,333 fully rigged animated 3D characters varying across 11 unique species making them more than just NFTs. The collection has built an entire playful universe, becoming a digital brand aimed at rekindling childhood nostalgia of cute mascots through casual browser and mobile games like Plooshy Pile Up and the upcoming Plooshy Island.
Today, players can already enjoy quick mini-games, collect resources, decorate homes, experience multiplayer mode on Plooshy Island, and even earn in-game rewards. If you’re wondering whether you can access the Plooshies universe without the NFT, rest assured -only some features tap into NFTs and token economies, so everyone can jump in instantly, regardless of their web3 experience. The Plooshies ecosystem even includes Plooshy Points, $CUDDLE Coin, and an active marketplace providing players with the entire infrastructure necessary to get the full experience of cuteness.
