If you’re a fan of Q-Games’ PixelJunk series then make sure you stop by the US PlayStation Store sometime during the next few days. All seven PixelJunk titles on PSN will be receiving crazy discounts, with Racers, Monsters, Eden, and Shooter only costing a dollar apiece and Monsters Deluxe (PSP), Shooter 2, and SideScroller each selling for half their usual price.
Q-Games has changed the name of the upcoming PixelJunk Lifelike. The title will henceforth be known as PixelJunk 4am!
President and Executive Producer Dylan Cuthbert explained how the name was changed “after long deliberation” to “better match the atmosphere [they] are trying to create”:
We’re big fans of Japan-based developer Q-Games here at El33tonline. How could we not be when we’ve spent countless hours carefully placing towers and saving villagers in PixelJunk Monsters? And that’s not even counting the time we’ve put into PixelJunk Racers, PixelJunk Eden and PixelJunk Shooter!
So naturally we’re excited to hear that Q-Games will have three of their games on show at E3 next week.
Three!
A live-‘action’ trailer for Q-Games’ next project, PixelJunk Lifelike, recently went out around Mother Internet, and features two of the title’s contributors, Omar Cornut and musician/artist Baiyon, running around a picturesque forest with a few PlayStation Move Motion Controllers in hand.
Of course, the trailer also features some funky, funky beats. This is a PixelJunk game after all!
Or is it?
Judging by these newly released screenshots, as well as a debut trailer, PixelJunk Shooter 2 is looking very similar to its predecessor, featuring the same brand of exploration-based puzzle shooting with similar water/lava/steam levels.
This is not a bad thing. This is a very good thing.
Q-Games’s Dylan Cuthbert has formally announced the existence of PixelJunk Shooter 2 on the US PlayStation Blog, following a reveal in Official PlayStation Magazine and hints and rumours earlier this year.
According to Cuthbert, work on the sequel to last year’s awesome exploration-based puzzle shooter is “in full production, full steam ahead, anchors away and all that,” and while he can’t say much about the game at the moment, PixelJunk Shooter 2 “will have some features that are new to the PixelJunk series in general and will be bigger than the first game!”
Cuthbert’s blog post continues:
Posting on his personal Twitter account, president and executive producer at Q-Games (creator of all things PixelJunk) Dylan Cuthbert has revealed that the studio’s next effort, PixelJunk Shooter, has ‘gone gold’,’ although in digital download parlance that probably just means ‘it’s done and has been approved by the platform holder.’
PixelJunk Shooter is expected to release in Japan on December 24th, exclusively on the PlayStation Network, with a release in the West not far behind.
