PopCap™ to Launch Peggle™ and Peggle
Nights Add-On for the PlayStation®Network and Peggle Nights Content Pack on Xbox
LIVE® Arcade
Blockbuster Franchise Delivers Compelling Gameplay and
Non-Stop Multiplayer Action
PopCap Games today announced it is expanding its blockbuster
Peggle™ franchise with Peggle and the Peggle™ Nights add-on for the
PlayStation®Network as well as the Peggle Nights content pack for Xbox LIVE®
Arcade (XBLA). A cult fan favorite among hardcore gamers and casual players
alike, Peggle and the Peggle Nights add-on pack, published by Sony Online
Entertainment (SOE), can be purchased beginning November 19 from the
PlayStation®Store for US $9.99 and US $4.99, respectively. The Peggle Nights
content pack for XBLA will be available for download November 18 for 400
Microsoft points (US $5.00).
Since its introduction in February 2007, the Peggle series —
inspired by the classic gameplay of pinball and pachinko — has been downloaded
more than 60 million times for PC/Web and has garnered more than a dozen awards
from leading industry critics. After launching on XBLA earlier this year, Peggle
again received top accolades, becoming an instant best-seller with the addition
of its wildly popular, multiplayer Peg Party mode.
“Peggle has become a cult gaming phenomenon, blowing away our
original expectations for the game,” stated Ed Allard, vice president of
strategic development at PopCap. “With these latest game installments, we’re
delivering even more features that appeal to diehard enthusiasts with hours of
great gameplay, competitive multiplayer experiences and community elements that
the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE communities should really enjoy.”
Peggle and Peggle Nights Add-On Pack for PlayStation
Network
The PlayStation Network edition of Peggle brings all the
compelling gameplay action of the original PC version, including 55 levels of
ball-bouncing madness, 10 unlockable Peggle Masters, Quick Play mode, Duel mode,
and 75 Challenge mode levels. For non-stop competitive action, players can
choose from two multiplayer options: two-player Duel mode, or Peg Party mode,
where up to four players can compete against one another simultaneously.
Peggle Nights, the award-winning follow up to Peggle,
transports players into the ‘dream worlds’ of each of the Peggle Masters. With
five beautifully rendered and themed levels for each character’s secret dreams
and aspirations, Peggle Nights also introduces Marina, an eleventh Peggle
Master. The Peggle Nights add-on* for PlayStation Network allows players to
enjoy all the levels and challenges in the original PC version of the game and
more: 60 levels of Peggle Nights content in the exclusive multiplayer modes;
Peggle Nights Adventure mode, including the Nights story; 60 Peggle Nights
Challenges; the trophy room; adventure statistics; and three new PlayStation
Network trophies.
Additionally, the PlayStation Network versions of Peggle and
Peggle Nights offer Remote Play capability and XMB™ support, allowing gamers to
stream their own music during gameplay as well as view and play Peggle and
Peggle Nights on the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable)
go system. Players can also take advantage of YouTube integration to upload and
share replay videos of their best and wildest shots and scores.
Peggle Nights Content Pack for Xbox LIVE
Peggle Nights is also being offered as premium downloadable
content for Peggle on XBLA*, the phenomenally popular game hit launched on Xbox
LIVE Arcade last spring. Peggle Nights features all the great gameplay of the
original PC version and more, including new Peggle Master, Marina, as well as
the ability to battle friends and foes, and compare Peggle prowess in the
four-player Peg Party and two-player Duel modes. The game also features 60
Peggle Nights levels for multiplayer over Xbox LIVE and all single player/local
modes; the Peggle Nights Adventure mode, including the Nights story; 60 Peggle
Nights Challenges; the trophy room; adventure statistics; and three new Xbox
