Pin-Code 2.0. / Pin Code 2.0.

"PinCode 2.0" *is a popular science animated series (2025) in which the Kikoriki find themselves in the Metaverse, a digital world created by AI. It all begins with Losyash's experiment: he uses AI, and the heroes are thrown into a virtual version of their world. To return home, they explore the Metaverse and learn to use modern technology.

• Characters and their behavior: *

• Losyash is *a scientist, the initiator of the experiment. In the new episodes, he not only puts forward hypotheses, but also learns to admit mistakes if his calculations fail.

• Eva is *a new character, an AI assistant. She looks like a floating holographic interface with soft light accents; She acts like a patient mentor, but her algorithms sometimes lead to unexpected consequences.

• Pin *the Constructor: She assembles devices from virtual components and often argues with Losyash about methods, but quickly switches to solving the problem.

• Krosh and Hedgehog *the Explorers: They are the first to venture into uncharted areas, which regularly gets the team into trouble, but they are the ones who find the key clues.

• The others *(Nyusha, Barash, Kopatych, Sovunya, Kar-Karych) each make their own contribution: from testing hypotheses to "field" testing of inventions; their characters remain recognizable, but are embedded in a technological context.

• What happens in the episodes: The heroes encounter computer viruses, look for ways to stop cyberbullies, try 3D printing, understand quantum encryption, terraforming, and other topics. Each episode is a mini-adventure with a scientific fact and a practical task. The visual style has become more detailed: in the Metaverse, the world has a "transparent" digital aesthetic with light contours, interface layers, and loading effects.

In PinCode 2.0, Smeshariki has an updated 2D style: the characters are slightly less rounded, and their limbs resemble arms and legs.

• Krosh, a blue rabbit, energetic and impulsive, is the first to jump into any adventure. - Hedgehog , a purple rabbit, calm and reasonable, often keeps his friends from making hasty decisions. - Nyusha, a pink pig, combines practicality with dreaminess, helping the team stay united. - Barash , a pale purple lamb, has a keen sense of atmosphere and notices details that others miss. - Losyash, a brown and yellow moose with antlers, is the main initiator of experiments; in the Metaverse, he is especially passionate about analyzing algorithms. - Pin , a black and white penguin, is responsible for technology and calculations, quickly adapting devices to the conditions of the virtual world. - Kopatych, a brown bear, the team's mainstay: reliable, straightforward, and best at handling physical challenges. - Kar-Karych, a blue-gray raven, offers strategic advice, smooths over conflicts, and draws on experience. - Sovunya , a brown-beige owl, maintains order and security, and prevents the heroes from taking risks without a plan. - Eva , a new character, an AI assistant: appears as a floating holographic interface with soft lines of light, offers technical suggestions, and sometimes provokes new experiments.

In "PinCode 2.0," Losyash's experiment sends the Smeshariki into the Metaverse, a virtual world created by AI. There, they explore future technologies with their assistant, Eva.

In the released episodes, the characters grapple with various mysteries of the digital world: learning to operate new systems, encountering unexpected glitches, and searching for a way home. Each episode explores a different modern technology, from bioengineering to quantum cryptography, presenting science through adventure.

The plot remains intimate: most of the events take place inside the Bio-plane and nearby locations of the Metaverse, and the focus is on the experiments and resourcefulness of the Smeshariki.
