Webkinz Next is a 3D virtual pet app created by Ganz that was released on October 23rd, 2020, and is available to download on Windows, Apple (iOS 12.0 or up), and Android (8.0 and up).
With it's release, the original Webkinz was rebranded as "Webkinz Classic" and is currently still available to play on mobile and PC.[1]
Gameplay
Webkinz Next is similar to Webkinz Classic, both games including familiar characters and many of the same mechanics and gameplay, though a few new functions were added and/or modified. The main difference between the two is the 3D redesign of Webkinz World as a whole.
However, it appears that Webkinz Classic and Webkinz Next are connected and can be accessed by a single account, and allows for gameplay on one end to affect the other. The same items, pets, and even events are the same on each version.[2]
Pets
Existing pets have new 3D models, and are able to properly wear clothes rather than simply layering them atop the pet's sprite.
New types of clothes have been added, such as backpacks, bracelets, and necklaces. Unlike Webkinz Classic, players may now dress their pet wherever with no restrictions, and their pet will be fully clothed rather than half dressed.
Babies
Babies are also a new mechanic. Using two of your pets' "Sparks", they can create a baby Webkinz that resembles both their parents. Players are to then care for their new baby, which will go through "Growth Moments" each time its requests are met. Eventually, it will grow into a Kid Pet, and then finally a Full Grown Pet and gain Sparks.
My House
My House is now a fully 3D area with connecting on-screen rooms. Windows function to show what's outside rather than display its own individually designed view. Doors can be customized and edited as well. Items may now be placed onto more surfaces, such as dressers and fireplace mantles, and can be rotated more freely.
Chat
Players may now invite other players to places other than their House, and visit their friends' houses whenever.
