PixelJunk 1-5 development begins early next year

Q Games’ PixelJunk franchise has experienced a significant growth since its birth two years ago. Starting off with a rocky PixelJunk Racers, we’re now eagerly awaiting the release of the fourth game, PixelJunk Shooter. What’s after Shooter, though? Well, according to the developer, development on the next game won’t commence until early 2010 at least.

“We have a ton of ideas floating around at the moment,” Q Games PR rep Duncan Flett told GamingUnion, “but right now we’re working on PixelJunk Shooter. We’ll look to narrow the ideas we have down to about three towards the start of next year. From there, we’ll decide on a full concept and start development properly.”

Could the fifth game be PixelJunk Dungeons? originally announced alongside PixelJunk Eden and said to be the fourth game in the series (which was now proven false with the upcoming release of PixelJunk Shooter). We’re not sure, but if it is, you’ll be waiting for a top-down dungeon crawler. This is all we know.
