MojiWorld: single-player adventure first, MMORPG later
● Beta underway — launching September on SteamMojiWorld launches on Steam in September 2026 — moved from August to make it truly shine — and the store page is live now, so wishlist it here! It's a hand-pixeled 2D side-scrolling adventure from Moji Studios, launching single-player first. The full online MMORPG version, with guilds and multiplayer raids, follows after launch. 12 classes, 8 planned continents, early-2000s side-scrolling MMO soul. Beta testing is already underway, with controller support in the works.
Development updates 📓
The beta tester requests keep rolling in — thank you! Since testing began we've received multiple requests from players wanting to help test MojiWorld, and we're opening the inbox: interested gamers can email us at [email protected] to become a game tester. Tell us a little about yourself and what you play on — we'd love to have you in the world early. 💛
Beta testing has officially begun! Development has been progressing at full speed — our Steam build updates have been rolling out smoothly, and the first testers are inside the world right now, hunting bugs before launch. We're also hard at work incorporating game controller support, so you'll be able to side-scroll from the couch, the way the early 2000s intended.
One more thing: launch is now set for September 2026. We nudged it a few weeks past August for one reason — to ensure the quality hits the bar this world deserves. A little more polish now, a much better first day in MojiWorld for you.
Stay tuned — things are moving quickly from here. The fastest way to catch every update: wishlist MojiWorld on Steam and follow @mojistudios.official.

What is MojiWorld?
MojiWorld is the main game from Moji Studios, an indie studio dedicated to recreating the feel of early-2000s games. It's a 2D side-scrolling world in the spirit of the classic side-scrolling MMOs of that era: pick a class, explore a hand-pixeled world, fish at dawn, and — once the online version arrives — join a guild and raid at dusk.
Every tile of the world is hand-pixeled. The studio is building the first continent now, out of 8 planned, with 12 playable classes.
Why single-player first?
Rather than holding the whole world back until the MMO infrastructure is ready, Moji Studios is shipping MojiWorld's world as a complete single-player adventure first. You get to play the game in September 2026 instead of waiting; the studio gets real players exploring the continent while the online systems are finished. The full MMORPG follows after launch.
This makes MojiWorld the studio's first Steam release — following Chubby Bird, the free browser game already live today.
Release window & platforms
As of August 16, 2026, MojiWorld's official Steam store page is live and the game is in beta testing, with release set for September 2026 — moved from August to ensure the quality bar (see the dev log). The exact day and price haven't been announced yet. PC via Steam is the only confirmed platform.
The fastest way to be there on day one: wishlist MojiWorld on Steam — Steam notifies you the moment it launches, and every wishlist boosts the game's visibility. You can also join the launch list or follow @mojistudios.official on Instagram.
