The PixelJunk series is well-known for its quirky, stylistic take on more familiar genre tropes. Shooter, the fourth title in the PixelJunk series, takes common elements of multi-directional shooters of the past and melds it with Q-Games' unique approach to game development. President of Q-Games Dylan Cuthbert talks to us about how PixelJunk came to be, and how the series' title was really a way for Q-Games to unite their games under one banner.
From GI.biz: "Towards the tail end of 2021, Q-Games accomplished something very rare in this industry: it had reclaimed its intellectual property, specifically for PS4 exclusive The Tomorrow Children.
In the announcement tweet, the Japan-based company described it as "a historical move by Sony Interactive Entertainment" and it's hard to argue with that. The game was originally published as a second-party title, funded by PlayStation, and it's typical for the platform holder to retain the IP rights in such a partnership."
Developer Q-Games has announced PixelJunk Eden 2 for Switch. It will launch via the Nintendo eShop in Q2 2020 as a timed exclusive and support English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, and Korean language options.
Dang! I loved the first, and it's interesting to see them leave the PS behind (at launch anyways) for Nintendo.
Each week Sony brings PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable owners new content, add-ons, games and more.
Awesome game looks awesome
