Pixels and Forgotten Runiverse Launch Massive Crossover

Get ready, adventurers — a massive crossover event is shaking up the blockchain games scene. Pixels and Forgotten Runiverse have teamed up to launch an unprecedented campaign on the Ronin blockchain, kicking off today, May 5th, at 3:00 p.m. ET. The headline? A jaw-dropping 5,000,000 $PIXEL token prize pool — and that’s just the beginning.

Let’s break it all down: what’s happening, how to join, what’s at stake, and why this could be a pivotal moment for interconnected economies in web3 gaming.

Swapping Quanta for $PIXEL: Here’s How It Works

For the first time ever, the $PIXEL token from Pixels is being used inside another game’s economy — and not in a minor way. In Forgotten Runiverse, players can now swap Quanta (the in-game currency) for a share of that massive $PIXEL pool.

There are two claim windows, each lasting two weeks. The more Quanta you bid during these periods, the bigger your slice of the 5 million $PIXEL prize. It's a competitive system with real value, encouraging both strategy and community collaboration.

And yes — you get to spend your $PIXEL inside Forgotten Runiverse. Whether you're stocking up on Mana, grabbing Boosts, or making the most of the 20% store discount during the event, your tokens go a long way.

How to Join the Pixels x Forgotten Runiverse Event

Jumping in is easy:

1. Launch Forgotten Runiverse.

2. Hit the Event button (same place as your daily boosts).

3. Decide how much Quanta you want to bid.

4. Confirm — and you’re in.

No gas fees. No complicated steps. Just gameplay-driven blockchain utility at its finest.

Limited-Time, Mintable Rewards You Can Actually Own

This crossover isn’t just about tokens — it’s about true ownership and exclusivity. The event introduces mintable Pixels-themed items, found in the Font of Memory.

Here’s what you can win (and keep forever):

• Pixels Cow Mount (Good, Great, and Grand tiers)

• Pixels Robe Cosmetic (Pixels, Great Pixels, and Grand Pixels tiers)

These are only available during this event. After that? They vanish — and become exclusive trophies for those who were there.

Game-Changing Features Now Live in Forgotten Runiverse

This event launches alongside some massive gameplay upgrades that breathe fresh life into the open world of Forgotten Runiverse:

• Quanta Sharing: Landowners can now split earnings between co-owners, builders, and even visitors. It’s a cooperative model that rewards teamwork and community-building.

• Building Infusions: Power up your cities! Infusing buildings enhances their functions. Temples produce more Mana, Gathering Stations bring more resources, and Forges craft better items. Infused City Stones reduce gold travel costs and come with map upgrades.

• Delves: Open-world challenges that offer action and rewards — no loading screens, no barriers. Just walk in and start exploring.

• Quest Enhancements: Daily and main quests now grant more Quanta to keep you engaged and progressing.

• Memory Optimized Client: Designed to run smoother, especially on mobile or lower-bandwidth setups.

These updates make Forgotten Runiverse more accessible, immersive, and rewarding than ever.

$PIXEL Staking and a New Creator Economy

The event also launches $PIXEL staking, making Forgotten Runiverse one of the first blockchain games to support it. Stakeholders now have a whole new way to earn passively from their holdings.

On top of that, the V1 Creator Program is officially live. Here’s what content creators get:

• A $500 USDC payout once your referral link generates $5,000 in in-game spend.

• Exclusive perks like early access, branding kits, and private channels.

• Tools to grow your audience and build a presence in the web3 gaming world.

It’s a smart move to empower the growing creator economy and boost visibility across social platforms.

A Look Back: The Road to This Crossover

This journey began in April 2025 when Pixels and Forgotten Runiverse teased their first collaboration. Their vision was bold: blend the farming sim economy of Pixels with the magical RPG world of Forgotten Runiverse.

Leading up to the launch, the Dungeon Run event (April 24 – May 1) gave players the chance to earn Quanta and enter land NFT giveaways — an excellent opportunity to stack resources ahead of today’s prize pool event.

Now, with full $PIXEL integration, these two titles are pioneering the future of interconnected blockchain games. Players can now earn, spend, and interact across ecosystems — no longer bound by single-game economies.

Why This Matters for the Future of Web3 Gaming

This crossover event isn’t just hype — it’s proof of concept. By integrating $PIXEL across games, Pixels and Forgotten Runiverse show what’s possible when blockchain games collaborate instead of compete.

Here’s why it’s a big deal:

• True interoperability between games — shared economies and assets.

• Player-owned rewards that are mintable and tradable.

• More ways to earn, both in-game and through content creation.

• Better performance and accessibility, making web3 games more mainstream-friendly.

It’s the kind of innovation that moves the space forward — and it’s happening now.

Final Thoughts: Don't Miss Your Shot

Whether you're a seasoned Ronin player or new to the space, this is the kind of event that sets the standard for what web3 games should offer. With millions in tokens, exclusive items, powerful gameplay upgrades, and a collaborative vision for the future, the Pixels x Forgotten Runiverse event is more than just a moment — it’s a milestone.

So fire up your game, swap that Quanta, and claim your share of the rewards. The future of blockchain gaming is being built — and you’re invited.
