Pixel Gun 2 stays true to the sandbox-style mayhem the series is known for. But this time around, everything feels more refined.

The launch version will feature a mix of iconic maps from Pixel Gun 3D as well as some brand-new arenas. A reworked free-to-play economy makes progression more about skill than spending, and upgraded anti-cheat systems ensure the battlefield stays fair. One unified account will carry progress across platforms, so you can switch between mobile and PC without missing a beat.

There's also plenty coming after launch. Additional modes are in development for post-release seasons, with ongoing content updates planned to keep things fresh. And if you’re still grinding through Pixel Gun 3D, don’t worry - the original isn’t going anywhere. Regular updates will continue, meaning you can enjoy both side by side.

The announcement comes as Pixel Gun 3D celebrates 12 years of blocky carnage. With more than 300 million installs, three million monthly users, and over $230 million in lifetime revenue, it's one of the most successful mobile shooters of all time. Pixel Gun 2 aims to build on that legacy while welcoming a new generation of frag-hungry fans.

That’s all we know for now. If you're interested, you can head to Pixel Gun 2’s Steam page for more information.
