More than a decade after its explosive debut, Pixel Gun 3D is set to get a highly anticipated sequel. GDEV's Studio Cubic Games has officially announced Pixel Gun 2, scheduled for release on iOS, Android, and Steam in early 2026. Get ready for the chaos to return in a refined form, with plenty of new mechanics to explore.
Designed for seamless cross-platform play, Pixel Gun 2 reimagines the voxel-based shooter with enhanced visuals, tighter controls, and faster, smoother matchmaking. Yet, it retains the chaotic charm that made the original a cult hit. While you wait for its release, why not check out this list of the best shooters to play on Android right now?
Pixel Gun 2 stays true to the sandbox-style mayhem the series is known for. This time around, the gameplay feels more refined, with a focus on skill-driven loadouts and upgraded shooting mechanics. The game promises more responsive gameplay and a better-balanced experience, encouraging creativity and chaos in every firefight through min-maxing gear and combining weapons in innovative ways.
The launch version will feature a mix of iconic maps from Pixel Gun 3D alongside brand-new arenas. A reworked free-to-play economy aims to make progression more skill-based than pay-to-win, while upgraded anti-cheat systems ensure fair play. With one unified account, players can seamlessly switch between mobile and PC without losing progress.
There's plenty to look forward to post-launch as well. Additional modes are in development for future seasons, and ongoing content updates are planned to keep the game fresh. Meanwhile, Pixel Gun 3D will continue to receive regular updates, allowing players to enjoy both titles 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 of all time. Pixel Gun 2 aims to build on this legacy while welcoming a new generation of frag-hungry fans.
