Pixels and Forgotten Runiverse Launch Cross-Game Event



Pixels and Forgotten Runiverse

Two of Ronin’s flagship blockchain games are teaming up to deliver something truly special. Pixels, the addictive farming sim, and Forgotten Runiverse, the fantasy MMO inspired by Forgotten Runes Wizard’s Cult, are kicking off their first-ever in-game collaboration—one that might just change how we think about cross-game economies in Web3.

At the heart of this event? The mighty $PIXEL token. And what’s coming isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a deeply integrated, ecosystem-level collaboration built for the long game.


What Is the Pixels x Forgotten Runiverse Collab All About?

This isn’t just a marketing stunt or a one-time NFT drop. It’s the start of a powerful partnership between two of Ronin’s biggest games, designed to unite communities, create meaningful utility, and give players more control over how and where they earn.

As Pixels founder Luke Barwikowski puts it:

“Web3 gaming will only reach its full potential if we work together, and expanding $PIXEL across multiple games reinforces our vision for creating a more sustainable Web3 gaming ecosystem.”

This event allows players to earn, claim, and spend $PIXEL in both Pixels and Forgotten Runiverse. And with Quanta—Runiverse’s in-game currency—acting as a bridge, it’s more than just cosmetic crossover; it’s economic integration.


How $PIXEL Works Inside Forgotten Runiverse

So, what can you actually do with $PIXEL once you’re in the world of Forgotten Runiverse? A lot, actually:

  • Buy Boosts and Mana to give your character a strategic edge.

  • Unlock exclusive Pixels-themed rewards to show off your cross-game cred.

  • Claim $PIXEL using Quanta you’ve earned in Runiverse.

This move brings the tried-and-tested $PIXEL economy from Pixels into an entirely different gameplay setting—fantasy RPG. It gives token holders new ways to use what they’ve earned, without ever leaving the broader Ronin ecosystem.

“By integrating $PIXEL into the Runiverse, we’re offering players the chance to engage with a proven token economy inside a new game,” says Shane Bierwith, COO of Bisonic. “This strengthens both ecosystems and sets the stage for our own token, $XP.”

How to Join the Event

While the official launch date hasn’t been revealed yet, the teams are encouraging players to get ready now. Whether you’re a farmer or a fantasy adventurer, you’ve got prep work to do.

If you're a Pixels player:

  • Stack up your $PIXEL tokens.

  • Get ready to use them in Runiverse to buy boosts, mana, and score unique rewards.

If you're a Runiverse player:

  • Farm as much Quanta as you can. The more you have, the more $PIXEL you’ll be able to claim.

  • Explore the farming sim world of Pixels and start building cross-game value.


How to Earn Quanta in Forgotten Runiverse

Want to dominate the event when it launches? You’ll need Quanta—and lots of it. Luckily, Forgotten Runiverse offers several ways to earn it:

  1. Land OwnershipOthers’ actions on your land (inscribing, extracting, crafting) generate Quanta for you.

  2. The Font of MemoryUse Mana to roll for loot-box-style rewards—land plots, materials, and yes, Quanta.

  3. Holding Key NFTs

    • Wizards and Warriors earn bonus Quanta.

    • Watcher’s Ring holders get discounts at the Font of Memory.

It’s an elegant system that rewards engagement, ownership, and strategic NFT collecting—all while prepping you to maximize your $PIXEL claim.


Why This Matters for Web3 Gaming

Both Pixels and Forgotten Runiverse made their moves to Ronin in the past year, each bringing unique value to the ecosystem. Pixels onboarded millions of new users in 2023. Forgotten Runiverse followed, blending RPG gameplay with NFT mechanics in bold new ways.

Now, they’re not just coexisting—they’re collaborating.

“We’re focusing on the fundamentals: building a durable game with a sustainable economy that supports the successful launch of $XP,” says Bierwith. “The insights we gain from integrating $PIXEL will help us achieve this goal.”

For Pixels, this is a chance to test, learn, and evolve:

“Partnering with Forgotten Runiverse allows us to dive deep into player behavior, optimize our P2E systems, and ultimately improve retention and engagement,” added Barwikowski in an interview with Decrypt.

What's Next: More Quests, Avatars, and Surprises

To celebrate the collab, Pixels is launching Runiverse-themed quests and even a special Runiverse avatar before the $PIXEL integration goes live inside Forgotten Runiverse.

But that’s just the beginning.

Barwikowski was clear: this collaboration isn’t a one-time play—it’s part of a larger vision for Web3 gaming.

“At Pixels, we're committed to sharing our insights and tools to help other games scale and grow because collective progress helps us all in the long term.”

Final Thoughts: The Power of Shared Economies

Cross-game economies are a huge step forward for blockchain games. By sharing resources, insights, and tokens, studios can build stronger, more sustainable ecosystems that benefit players and devs alike.

This Pixels x Forgotten Runiverse event is exactly the kind of innovation that makes blockchain games so exciting—and it’s a glimpse into the cooperative future of Web3 gaming.

So, whether you're stacking Quanta in Runiverse or farming crops in Pixels, get ready. The future of shared token economies is just getting started—and you’ll want to be part of it.
