Luxor Evolved is a tile-matching video game originally released in 2012 by MumboJumbo. Luxor Evolved is a complete visual and gameplay refresh of the Luxor series, taking the previous titles' staple Ancient Egypt thematics and combining them with a retro video game aesthetic. The design philosophy is similar to that of the Pac-Man Championship Edition series, modifying the traditional match-three mechanics with an enhanced focus on both high-speed gameplay and arcade-style look and feel. Made for and first released on PC, it was quickly ported to iOS in an attempt to gain mobile marketshare. The game was later released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in 2024.[1] A port was also planned for Google Stadia, but was cancelled due to the service's discontinuation.[2] This title is the last fully original game of the series.

"We were going to be announcing Luxor Evolved on the #stadia platform next week, but might as well announce that it's coming to Xbox, Switch and Playstation in early 2023. We wish our friends at Google well, and they are working to "make it right" for us" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
