Top Highlights

• Pixels has been one of the hottest crypto games all year, with its late 2023 migration to Ethereum gaming network Ronin and February’s token launch propelling the social farming game in front of millions of players. And now the developers are exploring other games in the same universe.
• Barwikowski said that his internal team, which numbers about 19 full-time employees, is setting the high-level direction for these Pixels universe games and then handing them off to external studios to develop.
• “There’s some fun stuff coming,” he teased. And that may include a Telegram-based game, too.
• Telegram’s crypto gaming ecosystem has seen explosive demand in recent months, after the tap-to-earn game Notcoin attracted 35 million players this spring—and then launched the biggest gaming token so far this year via The Open Network.
• Along with IP expansion, the recent Chapter 2 overhaul to Pixels is designed to not only show that a play-to-earn crypto game model can work and be sustainable in 2024, but also that Pixels can be the studio leading that charge.
