Q-Games' latest game, PixelJunk Shooter, has officially been dated for December 24 in Japan.  While no American release date has been specified, the last PixelJunk game hit day and date with it's Japanese counterpart.

PixelJunk Shooter is the latest in the popular line up of PSN games.  Shooter puts players at the wheel of a subterranean craft, tasked to brave torrents of magma and other hazards to rescue trapped survivors.

The game will be available on the Japanese store for 1200 yen, roughly $13 US.  We'll see if the increased price on the Japanese version has any bearing on the American PSN price.
