The wait is finally over for fans of the iconic voxel-based shooter series, as GDEV’s Studio Cubic Games has announced the much-anticipated sequel, Pixel Gun 2, set to launch on iOS, Android, and Steam in early 2026. The chaos that defined the original Pixel Gun 3D is back, but this time in a more refined and polished form, promising an exhilarating experience for both new players and long-time fans.
Designed with seamless cross-platform play in mind, Pixel Gun 2 aims to deliver sharper visuals, more responsive controls, and faster, smoother matchmaking. The game retains the chaotic charm that turned the original into a cult favorite, while introducing a host of new mechanics to explore. From skill-based loadouts to enhanced shooting dynamics, the focus is on creating a more balanced and engaging gameplay experience that encourages creativity and strategic chaos.
The launch version of Pixel Gun 2 will feature a mix of beloved maps from Pixel Gun 3D alongside brand-new arenas, catering to both nostalgia and novelty. A reworked free-to-play economy emphasizes skill over spending, ensuring a fair progression system. Enhanced anti-cheat measures are in place to maintain a level playing field, and a unified account system allows players to switch between mobile and PC seamlessly, carrying their progress across platforms.
Looking ahead, Pixel Gun 2 is set to expand with additional modes and ongoing content updates post-launch, ensuring the game remains fresh and exciting. Meanwhile, fans of the original Pixel Gun 3D can rest assured that it will continue to receive regular updates, allowing players to enjoy both games side by side.
The announcement coincides with Pixel Gun 3D's 12th anniversary, a testament to its enduring popularity with over 300 million installs, three million monthly users, and more than $230 million in lifetime revenue.
