Dear Explorers,
The moment has come.
To celebrate seven years of exploration, creation, and survival—we’re ushering in a powerful new force from the depths of the elemental wilds: Artikel.



Now roaming the lands of PixARK, Artikel is no ordinary beast. Born from the resonance of elemental energy, it is a creature of mystery and might—waiting for a worthy tamer to uncover its potential.
Will you earn its trust?
Will you master its elemental forms?
Or will you fall before the storm it brings?
The journey continues, and Artikel awaits.
Thank you for seven incredible years. Here's to the adventures still ahead.
