“Pixel War”, episode 2. The collaborative online game that stirred the Internet in April 2022 will make a comeback. Reddit announced the launch from this Thursday of the new version of its Reddit Place platform, on which the event takes place. “Better late than never,” quipped the social network on its Twitter account.
The Reddit Place looks like a huge online fresco, all white at first. Each Internet user, by connecting, can then add a small square of colors, every 5 minutes. Alone, the game does not have much interest, but it is its collaborative aspect that prevails. All the interest is to organize with other players to occupy part of the fresco and to obtain at the end some designs.
“There to defend my country”
Last year, France made a strong impression by managing to draw a huge blue-white-red flag, Notre-Dame de Paris, or even Zinedine Zidane. Internet users joined from the Reddit France platform, and could follow the progress of the “Pixel War” on Twitch, in particular with the streamer Kameto.
“We put pixels, they put them back. We put pixels, they put them back. And we do this until they decamp and make their creation elsewhere, “summarized in one of his videos the streamer, nicknamed “The General” for the occasion, because he had taken control of the operation on the French side.
Last year, the war lasted 48 hours and mainly pitted France against Spanish and American streamers. The exact start of the 2023 edition is not yet known but could start soon. Meanwhile the #PixelWar is in Top Trends on Twitter, with Internet users ready to fight. “Ready for the Pixel War”, “Here to defend my country”, “We will give everything”, can we read on social networks.
Even Thomas Pesquet, who had the right to a small tribute during the 2022 edition, is already on the job. ” Just saying. Are we honoring a girl this year? “, he proposed on his Twitter account. If you want to participate, just create an account on Reddit, and join the Reddit Place space (or r/Place).
