After more than a decade since its explosive debut, the iconic voxel-based shooter Pixel Gun 3D is set to receive a sequel. GDEV's Studio Cubic Games has officially announced Pixel Gun 2, slated for release on iOS, Android, and Steam in early 2026. The chaos returns, but this time in a more refined form, bringing with it a host of new mechanics to explore.
Designed for seamless cross-platform play, Pixel Gun 2 reimagines the original game with sharper visuals, tighter controls, and faster, smoother matchmaking, all while maintaining the chaotic charm that made Pixel Gun 3D a cult classic. The sequel stays true to the sandbox-style mayhem the series is known for, but with enhanced shooting mechanics and skill-driven loadouts, the focus is on more responsive and balanced gameplay. From min-maxing your gear to creatively combining weapons in the heat of battle, Pixel Gun 2 encourages creativity and chaos in every firefight.
The launch version will feature a mix of iconic maps from Pixel Gun 3D alongside new arenas. A reworked free-to-play economy emphasizes skill over spending, and upgraded anti-cheat systems ensure a fair battlefield. With one unified account, players can seamlessly switch between mobile and PC without missing a beat.
Looking ahead, Pixel Gun 2 has plenty in store post-launch, with additional modes and ongoing content updates planned to keep the gameplay fresh. Meanwhile, fans of the original can rest easy knowing that Pixel Gun 3D will continue to receive regular updates, allowing players to enjoy both games side by side.
This 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 aims to build on this legacy while welcoming a new generation of frag-hungry fans.
