PS3 Fanboy reports that: Kentaro Yoshida, one of Q-Games' studio directors, has confirmed in an interview with GamaSutra that a new PixelJunk game will be with us soon. Sooner than PS3 Fanboy anticipated, in fact. Yoshida says that "a new team has started in on the next PixelJunk project. PS3 Fanboy have not yet begun publicizing the game, but it is on schedule to be released in early 2009." That's now!
It seems that the game that was announced at GDC 2008, PixelJunk Dungeons, will not be the fourth in the series. It requires more development time and, as a result, will be released at some point after PixelJunk 4. Whatever that may be. Yoshida also states that "2D graphics have been a hallmark of the series so far, but we are looking to incorporate 3D graphics and take the series in new directions." An exciting prospect. Hopefully a 3D PixelJunk will retain the charm of the 2D versions.
