Neopets, the popular virtual pet website, is entering a "new era" with the launch of a unified website and the revival of old Flash games using the Ruffle emulator. Over 50 games will be brought back starting July 25th, with plans to convert many to HTML5 in the long term. Neopets is also introducing a new mobile game called World of Neopets, set to launch next year.

The team promises regular updates, AMAs, and a brand ambassador program in the coming months.
