Crash the Runiverse II $PIXEL Event

Forgotten Runiverse is closing out the year with another ambitious play-to-earn experiment. Crash the Runiverse II is now live, inviting players to jump in, push the servers to their limits, and earn a share of 3 million $PIXEL tokens, valued at roughly $24,000. Running from December 22 to January 5, this event blends stress testing, cross-game economics, and holiday excitement into one rewarding experience.

If you’ve been following the evolution of modern blockchain games, this event is a great snapshot of where the space is heading.

What Is Crash the Runiverse II?

Crash the Runiverse II is the latest large-scale event inside Forgotten Runiverse, designed to encourage massive player activity while rewarding engagement with real token incentives. Like its predecessor earlier this year, the goal is simple: log in, play actively, and help stress-test the game’s systems.

This time, however, the rewards aren’t based on Forgotten Runiverse’s internal currency. Instead, the event shines a spotlight on $PIXEL, the shared token used across both Forgotten Runiverse and Pixels. That shift reflects the growing partnership between the two Ronin-based games and their push toward a shared economy.

The event officially runs from December 22 at 1:00 p.m. ET until January 5 at 1:00 p.m. ET, giving players a full two weeks to participate.

How to Join and Start Earning $PIXEL

Participation in Crash the Runiverse II is refreshingly open. Anyone can join as long as they meet two basic requirements:

• Log into Forgotten Runiverse during the event window

• Link a compatible crypto wallet

Once that’s done, you’re automatically eligible to earn rewards simply by playing the game. There’s no upfront purchase required, making this event accessible to both new players and long-time Runiverse veterans.

The actual amount of $PIXEL you receive will depend on several multipliers, which are calculated after the event ends.

Understanding the Reward Multipliers

Not all participation is rewarded equally. Crash the Runiverse II uses a multiplier system that rewards deeper engagement and long-term involvement in the ecosystem.

Key factors include:

• Time played during the event

• Total spending history in the game

• Ownership of Forgotten Runiverse assets

• Floor price of owned assets, which increases the boost

In simple terms, the more invested you are—both in time and assets—the larger your share of the 3 million $PIXEL pool. Exact multiplier values will be confirmed later, and all rewards will be distributed after January 5.

This structure encourages consistent gameplay rather than short-term farming, aligning well with sustainable play-to-earn design.

A $PIXEL-Powered Crossover With Pixels

Crash the Runiverse II is part of a broader collaboration between Forgotten Runiverse and the popular farming sim Pixels. The two games have been connected since April, when they announced a shared token economy centered on $PIXEL.

That partnership kicked off in May with a major crossover event where players could exchange Quanta for a share of 5 million $PIXEL. Since then, both games have continued layering in new mechanics that link their economies together.

Highlights from past crossover milestones include:

• Special cosmetic items like the Pixels Mount and themed robes

• Open-world integrations and building upgrades

• Land-based earning systems tied to both games

• Guild-based PvP events with multi-million $PIXEL prize pools

Crash the Runiverse II builds directly on this foundation, reinforcing $PIXEL as a token that moves fluidly between different virtual worlds.

New Gameplay Features Arrive Alongside the Event

The event isn’t the only update landing in Forgotten Runiverse. A fresh patch introduced Dungeon Mercenary NPCs, a quality-of-life upgrade aimed squarely at solo players.

These hireable companions allow players to tackle dungeons alone without sacrificing efficiency or rewards. It’s a meaningful step toward making the game more flexible, especially during high-traffic events like this one.

The team also acknowledged two known dungeon-related bugs that are still being worked on. While fixes may arrive during the current patch cycle, there’s no guarantee they’ll be resolved before the event concludes.

Holiday Sale Runs Until January 5

To sweeten the deal, Forgotten Runiverse is also hosting a holiday sale that runs for the full duration of Crash the Runiverse II. Until January 5, all in-game items are discounted by 50%.

The sale applies across the entire Runiverse store, covering both in-game assets and premium content. While no specific bundles were highlighted, the timing makes it easier for players to increase their asset holdings—and potentially boost their event multipliers.

Looking Back at the First Crash the Runiverse

The original Crash the Runiverse event launched in January 2025 as a massive stress test ahead of Global Early Access. That event rewarded players with 21 trillion Quanta and featured tightly scheduled participation windows across regions.

Players engaged in dungeon runs, forging, and the Omen system, which allowed them to increase dungeon difficulty in exchange for better loot. While the first event focused solely on Forgotten Runiverse’s internal economy, the sequel clearly reflects a more interconnected Web3 vision.

A Shared Economy That Keeps Growing

Crash the Runiverse II highlights a larger trend shaping the future of blockchain games: interconnected economies that span multiple titles. By letting players earn and use $PIXEL across both Forgotten Runiverse and Pixels, the developers are actively testing how shared tokens behave in live environments.

Pixels founder Luke Barwikowski has described this approach as a step toward sustainable token design, while Bisonic COO Shane Bierwith sees it as a testing ground for Forgotten Runiverse’s upcoming native token, XP.

With the event now live, players have until January 5 to take part, help push the servers, and earn their share of 3 million $PIXEL tokens. Whether you’re here for the rewards, the gameplay, or the evolving shared economy, Crash the Runiverse II is another clear sign that cross-game Web3 ecosystems are becoming a reality.
