Peglin News

Hello everyone!

Our regional publishers IndieArk will be bringing Peglin to the TOKYO GAME SHOW 2023 from September 21 to September 24, 2023. You can find them at the IndieArk Games booth No. 01-C07 in Hall 1, to try out the latest build, learn about the future update plans, and potentially get some cool event-exclusive swag!








Can't make it to TGS?* We'll also have the game (and more goodies) at SXSW Sydney next month!


In non-event news we're hard at work on the next Peglin update which we're really excited about, we don't have a solid ETA on it yet but we're working to get it into your hands as soon as we can!

Thanks for playing!
