Today we are proud to announce the launch of a new Webkinz! It’s a whole new world to play alongside the rebranded Webkinz Classic! This new version was built from the ground up to work the same on all platforms with the latest technologies. Now you’ll have two great ways to plays! Just login with your existing Webkinz user name and password and we’ll get you all set up! Get all of the details here: https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/join-the-family/
Google Play, iOS and Windows Store versions available now!
Wow I can’t believe this is actually gonna be a thing! Tbh the animation is super creepy. And I love the original Webkinz, so I’m staying where I am! Plus I’m so scared of losing everything I have. But if this version has Mazin’ Hamsters….
Wish they would have called it something else, or maybe Webkinz 2? Confusing to have 2 different games with the same name!!
I play Webkinz to relax. I am a deluxe member and I buy extra estore points. (side note – I really love the new dispensers and seeds. I just got the Count Bite ice cream tree & all the new mystery seeds.) I really don’t want more social interaction. I love Webkinz the way it is. I started playing back in 2011, when my kids got me hooked on it. Not all of my kids are still playing, but all of our accounts are still active. (Every so often, those big kids will get on for fun!) Please keep “Classic” Webkinz up and running.
This is very exciting, though I will also be waiting for the PC version and I want to know more. As others have said, starting out from scratch…boo. And not boo in a good Halloween way! On the other hand this could be really fun! Using my current login is promising, because it MIGHT mean I get everything I already have only on this new platform. Now that could be truly exciting! Anxious to find out more.
Will the new webkinz be out today? tomorrow? overmorrow?
Overmorrow? ☺ Never seen or heard anyone else use that word.
Haha I’m actually TobyAndMia2020 I have heard of it!
Going to wait until the PC version is ready.
I tried it last night on my android phone. Too much going on on the screen to play it on that small screen. Tried to use it on my brand new android tablet with the same version of android, and it said it wasn’t compatible!! Want to try it out on the PC, too, to use a bigger screen.
I’ve been here for 15 years! I want to stay put! Sorry! I’m thinking about all the $ I’ve spent over the years and I sure hope it doesn’t eventually go poof with this new version.
My thoughts too
Ugh, me too. If the og webkinz gets deleted and replaces with this, I will be very angry. I have spent so much money on this account and 13 years of my life playing.
I feel the same way.
I checked it out, but I’m staying with Webkinz Classic too. Ganz says they won’t get rid of it. I’m with you — I’ve spent a LOT of money on Webkinz over the past 14 years!
SAME!!!
I have also been here for 15 + years. I agree with everything you mentioned. Plus being a Deluxe member for 2 accounts since day one.
GOSH I FORGOT will pets have EMOTIONS !! DANCE ,WIGGLE , FLEX MUSCLES AND SO ON
You could Macarana and twirl
The husky wags its tail all the time.
So if I do sign up for this, will I still have a deluxe account and all my pets from classic?
Not sure.
No, it’s completely separate. You start all over and choose one of three pets.
I don’t think that’s fair. Why not let us transfer our pets and items. ugh
Well, for you to spend more money, of course. Ganz is in business to sell things.
I’m not sure what to think. First, for classic, tons of people have been requesting the ability to change the screen size so they can multitask easily – something available in loads of games – I hope the tech team has been working on it – it is the main reason I’ve delayed making the switch to the desktop version. Secondly, as a launch, someone missed the mark. Why not wait until it was available on all platforms? Why not have a special podcast showing how Webkinz 3D works versus some screen shots. Based on the Find out more link, it appears that the main purpose is to allow more social interaction (potentially dangerous for younger children – no mention of controls). No mention of games, daily activities, the other current various areas. Very unclear about pets and the adoptions. It is nice that what we will see on all platforms will be the same!
I agree
They’re kinda sounding like EA to me when it comes to The Sims. Ignoring the community and doing what they want.
It won’t work on my Mac either — just my phone. I don’t enjoy playing on a phone.
