In a bit of a surprise announcement by Q-Games president Dylan Cuthbert today on the PlayStation Blog, the next PixelJunk game was revealed to be PixelJunk Shooter 2. Obviously very few details are available right now, but the sequel promises to be a whole lot longer and feature new mechanics that were not seen the first time around. In fact, Mr. Cuthbert says it will feature some new ideas that have never graced ANY PixelJunk game so far... "[We're making] Shooter 2 as jam-packed full of crazy fun as possible… I’m pretty sure we won’t make a Shooter 3 because everything and the kitchen sink (probably quite literally) is going into Shooter 2."

While any new PixelJunk game is certainly great news, we have to wonder what has happened to the long-rumored to be in development PixelJunk Dungeons. Looks like we may have to wait a little bit longer for any new info on that new IP. Doesn't it also seem like we are due for a PixelJunk Racers Encore edition? I suppose we can all agree that there isn't that much more you can do with the slot-racer format though.

Keep it here for more Shooter 2 info as it dribbles in, because we promise to get it out to you as soon as we get our hands on it!
