Pixeljam Announces Kickstarter Campaign for Dino Run 2: Early Access Launch
Multiplayer Sandbox Now Playable — Kickstarter Campaign Launches September 2, 2025
Pixeljam Games is bringing back the beloved Dino Run franchise with a bold reimagining of the iconic prehistoric platformer. Dino Run 2 lets players race against extinction in a pixelated world of danger and charm — escaping an apocalyptic wall of doom, selecting from a cast of uniquely specialized dinos, and customizing every scale and claw with a vast library of visual mods.
This ambitious sequel is being developed in stages, with Kickstarter funding critical to launching the Early Access version in 2026. The campaign goes live on September 2, 2025 and can be followed here:

As a preview of what's to come, Pixeljam has already released the project's first major milestone to previous supporters: a fully playable multiplayer sandbox. Built with custom netcode that requires no servers and will last for decades, this sandbox includes worldbuilding tools, online and LAN multiplayer, and early access to the systems that will power the full game.
???? All backers who pledge $10 or more get instant access to this sandbox — even before the campaign reaches its goal.
Fans can also wishlist the game on Steam:

Pixeljam is also exploring partnerships with museums and aligned brands to expand the game's world beyond the screen
