After more than a decade since its explosive debut, the beloved voxel-based shooter series, Pixel Gun 3D, is set to launch its much-anticipated sequel, Pixel Gun 2, in early 2026. GDEV's Studio Cubic Games has confirmed that the game will be available on iOS, Android, and Steam, promising seamless cross-platform play.
Pixel Gun 2 aims to refine the chaos that made the original a cult favorite. The sequel introduces sharper visuals, tighter controls, and faster, smoother matchmaking while maintaining the series' signature sandbox-style mayhem. Players can look forward to skill-driven loadouts, upgraded shooting mechanics, and a more responsive and balanced gameplay experience. The focus is on encouraging creativity and chaos, from min-maxing gear to experimenting with weapon combinations in the heat of battle.
The launch version of Pixel Gun 2 will include a mix of iconic maps from Pixel Gun 3D alongside brand-new arenas. A reworked free-to-play economy emphasizes skill over spending, and enhanced anti-cheat systems will ensure fair play on the battlefield. A unified account system will allow players to carry their progress across mobile and PC platforms seamlessly.
Post-launch, Pixel Gun 2 will receive ongoing content updates and new modes in seasonal releases, keeping the game fresh and engaging. Meanwhile, fans of the original can rest assured that Pixel Gun 3D will continue to receive regular updates, allowing players to enjoy both games side by side.
The announcement coincides with Pixel Gun 3D celebrating 12 years of blocky carnage. With over 300 million installs, three million monthly users, and more than $230 million in lifetime revenue, it stands as one of the most successful mobile shooters ever. Pixel Gun 2 seeks to build on this legacy, aiming to attract both longtime fans and a new generation of players eager for voxel-based action.
