Announcing PixelJunk Monsters 3 at Future Game Show at Gamescom Public Playtest Begins September 4, 2026!

We are proud to announce it is developing PixelJunk Monsters 3, with the latest trailer unveiled at Future Game Show at Gamescom 2026.

Developed in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the PixelJunk Monsters series, PixelJunk Monsters 3 is an all-new entry in Q-Games’ best-selling PixelJunk series. 

PixelJunk Monsters 3 returns to its original hand-drawn roots and is now presented in 4K for extra fidelity. Players run around and dance, building towers and protecting against swarms of Monsters. New roguelike elements are also sprinkled into the mix, which further enhances the original game’s unique take on tower defense! Up to two players can collaborate online or locally for that traditional couch co-op feel.
