‘If we try to be too serious, we lose:’ FragPunk chooses fun over balance, rebuilds as ‘Shooter Playground’ in 2026

FragPunk was one of the most unique multiplayer shooters released in 2025. It took over the tactical shooter world in the blink of an eye, but died down just as quickly. This year, Bad Guitar Studio is back with what the developer sees as a soft relaunch of the game.

FragPunk is a 5v5 shooter featuring Shard Cards, modifiers that completely change the flow of the game. Some Shard Cards make your heads smaller, others give a powerful new weapon, and there are even those that remove bomb sites, creating chaos like no other game.
