Pixel Maniacs from Nuremberg and publisher PM Studios from Las Vegas have finally announced the release date for ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard, the sequel to Pixel Maniacs first 3D puzzle game ChromaGun. The game will be released on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store digitally and on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch 2 both digitally and in retail on 12 February 2026.

“We’ve taken everything the fans loved about the original - the witty dialogue, the fiendishly clever puzzles, and the saturated aesthetic - and dialed it up to 11,” said Benjamin Lochmann, Founder and CEO of Pixel Maniacs. “Dye Hard is bigger, bolder, and requires a level of color coordination and spatial reasoning that will test even the most seasoned puzzle enthusiasts. The team is eager to watch the most insane full game speedruns from the community!”

“ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard expands the creative spectrum of our portfolio with a bold, brainy experience that stands apart from anything else we’ve launched.” states Michael Yum, CEO of PM Studios. “We’re proud to offer a retail edition for a game this inventive - it’s something every fan of clever design should want to have as part of their physical collection.”
