Q-Games, the developer behind the popular PixelJunk series of games on PlayStation Network and Steam, is gearing up for an amazing BitSummit this weekend at Miyako Messe in Kyoto, Japan. As a founding member of the BitSummit team, we are excited to show how much the event, and Q-Games, has to offer this year. The show floor will be packed with amazing indie games from local developers, and as one of Japan’s premier independent developers, we are excited to put our games into the hands of fellow developers and the public.
Those looking for more news about the eighth PixelJunk title, our genre bending, intergalactic soup shipping playground, will be happy to hear that big announcements are in store at BitSummit. To reflect development, PixelJunk Inc. will now be known as Nom Nom Galaxy! While we’ve loved the name former name, during development this past year we’ve wanted a name captures the spacey deliciousness of the game. “Nom Nom,” which is an onomatopoeia for enjoying delicious food in both English and Japanese, fits this perfectly. The latest build of Nom Nom Galaxy will be ready to play at the Q-Games booth.
But good news doesn’t stop there! We know that our fans are ready to hear when they can partake of the next batch of PixelJunk soup in the comfort of their homes. Everything will be revealed in the PixelJunk Kitchen!
Finally, at the Q-Games booth we’ll be showing the newly announced PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. This will be the first time gamers will be able to play the new enhanced version of the classic PSN title, which was developed in partnership with Double Eleven, Ltd. (PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate, Little Big Planet PS Vita).
PixelJunk Inc. is currently being developed for Steam on PC with an anticipated release later this year. Mac and Linux versions will follow the initial PC release. Gamers can follow PixelJunk Inc.’s progress on our weekly developer’s blog here, pixeljunk.jp/inc, and stay updated with new screenshots, trailers, and wallpapers.
PixelJunk Shooter. is currently being developed for PS4 and PSVita by Double Eleven Ltd. and will be released Summer 2014.
