The PixelJunk series has brought us many delightful games in various genres, one of the most memorable being PixelJunk Eden. It's an airy, chilled-out platformer that's all about swinging between plants, gathering pollen, and enjoying the music. It got a sequel a few years ago, aptly titled PixelJunk Eden 2. While it skipped PlayStation platforms at the time, the game is making its way to PS5 and PS4 at last.
You can see what it's all about in the above trailer. Much like the first game, this looks to be a relaxed platforming experience in which you explore vivid, eye-catching gardens and swing around like a tiny Spider-Man.
Playing as a Grimp, you can jump and swing through the plants gathering pollen, which will see the whole level react and change. You'll also unlock new abilities as you meet other Grimps. Combined with spices that can enhance your powers, you can enter levels with some souped-up abilities and improve your scores.
On PS5, the game is presented in 4K, which we're sure will look amazing on a game like this. Additionally, the DualSense will light up to reflect what's happening onscreen, and haptic feedback has also been implemented.
There's no date on the PS5 and PS4 versions of the game, but it will launch "later this year". Are you excited to play PixelJunk Eden 2? Swing by the comments section below.

I had forgotten completely about the original game! I'll absolutely check this out.
Thanks for this info. I really enjoyed the first game and I'm sure I'll enjoy this one too. A clean aesthetic like this one should pop nicely with 4k presentation. I like the idea of the dualsense lighting up with the action too- cant help being an old hippy
I'm not sure I ever played Eden, except for maybe a demo, but I've really enjoyed every PixelJunk game I've tried. They may not be over-the-top AAA productions, but they perform well and aren't full of bugs, and that's more than most AAA titles can boast these days.
Yes! That’s more like it… Scrappers and now Eden 2 coming to PS. I’m glad PixelJunk is coming home after a good few years of releasing on other platforms. Now just Raiders and we’ll have them all.
The sequel I didn't know I needed. Great news.
The PixelJunk era games were always pretty enjoyable and entertaining. Not sure if I played the sequel but looks like now's the time to do so.
I’d give my left nut if they’d re-release pixeljunk monsters 1 on the ps5 (I know it’s available on plus premium but I don’t want a cloud version).
I got several PixelJunk games on the PS3 and this one (1st Eden) + Shooter are great imo. I will keep an eye out ...
