For a lot of us, to hear the word Neopets unleashes a flood of nostalgia dating back to our childhood. To simpler times, when you'd get home from school and jump on your oversized PC to feed, play with, and care for your own virtual pet. It has been quite some time since Neopets first launched in 1999, but we're here to remind you that, some 25+ years later, the fan-fave pet sim has grown far beyond its humble browser experience.
One of the biggest projects to come out of the magical world of Neopia recently is the Neopets Battledrome TCG, a collaboration with trading card specialists, Upper Deck, which has enjoyed quite a bit of success since its launch in mid-2024. So much so, in fact, that the team have just dropped a brand-new set - The Void Within.
