Q-Games Announces PixelJunk Monsters 3 for PC

The 20th‑anniversary entry returns to hand‑drawn 4K visuals and will use an early September playtest to shape new roguelike systems with two‑player co‑op.

Overview

  • Q‑Games revealed PixelJunk Monsters 3 at the Future Games Show in late August and listed the game on Steam with a wishlist option for Windows PC.
  • The new entry restores the series' hand‑drawn art in 4K while adding roguelike systems that change runs and unlock progression to boost replay value.
  • Gameplay will keep the series' active tower‑defense core where players run to build towers and adds new towers, new enemies, and boss battles.
  • A closed playtest is scheduled to run September 4 through September 9 with signups available through Q‑Games' official Discord channel.
  • No release date or other platform plans have been announced yet, though the series' multi‑platform history and the planned playtest suggest Q‑Games will use player feedback to guide future ports and the final launch.
