So this was I believe last year, or so, since the game was deleted and someone reuploaded it and I created a account and played it just for childhood nostalgia, now recently the data was breached and affected a load of people that also played it, it breached the password, IP address (which has me most worried) and email address, besides using more unique passwords and being more careful, how will this affect me now that my IP address and email have been breached? I'm not too familiar on this topic so sorry if it sounds silly.

Knowing your IP is not a real concern.

You can enter your email address(es) in the following site and it will check to see if that email address was part of a known breach.

https://haveibeenpwned.com/

What were the results from the above?

If an email account password has been compromised, change it to a new Strong Password.  If that password was used on any other site, change it.

You stated "... since the game was deleted and someone reuploaded..."  What "game"? 

I can't see a game account breach being too serious.  It's only a game and holds no real data.  Does the possibility of this unidentified Game Breach have associated with a Credit Card number ?  If yes, contact the bank and have it canceled and have them issue a new one.  If this happened a year ago and you haven't made any efforts to protect yourself then you put yourself in a bad position as you may be viewed as having been "sleeping on your rights".

Thank you for answering my questions! And okay good thing it isn't a big concern with my IP being known and I did use havenibeenpwned it's how I found out, I just forgot to mention that and i believe I am safe on the bank info since it isn't associated or anything with it. the game was Club Penguin Rewritten, and this happened actually very recently

I found these on the topic...

They all seem to repeat the same info.  No other technical data other than what you have already learned.
