We've received some very exciting, exclusive information on a brand new, unreleased mobile game for Neopets that has been in development for the past few months! This is the first mobile development since Ghoul Catchers was released back in early 2015.
The new mobile app, titled Neopets GO: Balthazar's Revenge, is an AR (augmented reality) game that allows you to join Balthazar's Faerie Bottling Inc. and walk around in real life capturing faeries for Balthazar. It appears to be inspired by the popular game, Pokémon GO.
