PewDiePie Introduces Pixelings, New Mobile RPG Game
Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg teamed up with the developers Outermindsto announce Pixelation, a completely new, free game on iOS and Android.
PewDiePie fans call him the "King of YouTube" but he does more than create videos for his 102 million subscribers.
Swede created his first mobile game with Outerminds in 2015 - a platforming legend Brofist followed by the Tuber simulator in 2016. Now, three years later, he has expanded the Pixelverse with his latest release.
Those familiar with previous PewDip games will recognize familiar pixels from the Tuber simulator. Now these creatures (and more) have their own set of powers and help build the ultimate battle roster.
Playable in single player or multiplayer, Pixelings is a turn-based strategy RPG game and Felix showed off the game's current combat system, highlighting the importance of replacing your pixels - in this video.
Playing through one of the campaign missions, Kjellberg said he was particularly pleased with the animation work. “All the animations are hand-drawn and I think it's so cool,” he said. “I think it's a really cool thing that I'm really proud of.”
Moreover, he confirmed that the initial release was just the beginning for the RPG.
He added, “There are so many beautiful and cool pixels and areas and things in general… it took a lot of work to get this.”
There are plenty of in-game purchases to make to unlock more characters to expand your pixel roster.
The game is available for free on the App Store and Play Store right now.
