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!
I’m sure the game is fine, but the graphics are so ugly, I will never play it. The main reason I love the classic site is that the animals are cute and look like animals, not some creepy fur suit rendering
No offense to Webkinz/Ganz, because I’m sure they’ve put a lot of effort into this new project, but I really hope they continue to support classic Webkinz. The style of it is better, and the change for something new really isn’t needed, in my opinion.
Like everyone, I’m really hoping that webkinz classic continues to be supported and doesn’t disappear when flash player stops working. I hope this isn’t what the webkinz team has meant over the past couple years when they’ve said they’re working to keep webkinz up when flash player quits working :/ I have a pc so I haven’t tried out this new webkinz yet, but based on this photo I’m not a fan of the 3D rendering. I think the classic webkinz has a better look to it. IMO the problem with 3D is that it doesn’t age as well as 2D. You can look back at 3D and CGI from just a few years ago and it looks awful. Since I personally am already not a fan of the look of this, I’m worried than in just a couple years it will seem even worse :/ All that said, if the new webkinz brings in a new younger audience (the way it did when the classic game was in its heyday) then it may not be such a bad thing so long as I can keep playing on my old account the way I always have! Even though this comment is critical, I know that the webkinz team is constantly doing their best to keep webkinz going for us, so I appreciate all of their hard work. And I’m sure they have had a lot of discussions and strategy meetings about the new webkinz and have a good reason for putting so much time and effort into it! :) Probably no one will read this, but if you did, thank you! :)
To answer your question, to my knowledge, Webkinz Classic is here to stay! I don’t know if you saw their post, but you can download the Webkinz desktop app! It currently runs on Flash, but plans are being made to have it run on a similar software. It will totally be playable after Flash shuts down! Also, I agree that 3D definitely doesn’t age as well as 2D. I think I’m going to be sticking with the Webkinz Classic we all know and love. :) -bm88
@Sally Webkinz, while I think this is a very cool idea it incorperates everything we’ve been asking for but we have to start all over and that just doesn’t seem fair that dedicated players who spend a LOT of money on pets, deluxe, etc can’t play with their current account in this game. We’ve been asking to move walls, etc. Can’t it be updated so when you log in everything transfers? It just doesn’t seem right. :(
Ok I kind of take back my comment because it is absolutely a different game. I just wish some of the features were added to the regualr webkinz.
Is GANZ still gonna be running the “Classic” Webkinz? With like the activity’s? Or no?
I don’t like this new webkinz. I tried playing it. It wasn’t nearly as fun as the “Classic” Webkinz.
As of right now, I’m sticking to Webkinz Classic – too old to change and I’ve got several Deluxe accts I like to play with rather that starting all over again on the new one. Thanks for letting Classic keep on with the new desktop App. I’ve been here from the beginning and hate change. I’ve got the desktop app loaded but still use the normal PC version until we have to. Have fun all for those loving the new 3D site. Thanks Ganz for having something for all of us.
Well this is obviously a reworked version of Amazing World. Unfortunately as far an IOS, I couldn’t load it on my mac desktop so I loaded it on my iPad. I thought it would have everything from my existing WW account in it, alas I must start from scratch. I will give it a try, but I wish you had just given us these new features in our existing WW accounts. It does look pretty with all the colors, however, it sure was hard to tell which Husky was mine in the arcade!
Nooooooo! My kids and I have played Webkinz since its inception, spent (literally) thousands of $$, and we don’t want it to change. The 3-D is absolutely not my cuppa tea. 2020 continues to be a stressful year and changing our “happy place” does not help at all. I’m very disappointed and will be sticking with Webkinz Classic — I just hope Ganz continues to support it. : (
Me too!
Well, nothing can beat the original, I like the classic look that we’ve always had :) One of the reasons I love Webkinz is because it’s not all advanced and getting major updates to graphics all the time, it’s just the same old nostalgic game. But the new thing looks interesting.
