Puzzle Quest 2 officially confirmed

Puzzle Quest 2

As we reported last week, Infinite Interactive and D3 Publishing are planning on unleashing another RPG Puzzle Quest outing.

Entitled Puzzle Quest 2 (a simplistic title given the long and grandiose titles of its predecessors) the game has only been confirmed for consoles via Xbox Live Arcade at this point in time. The game will be arriving in spring 2010 and we’re still expecting that version for PSN and WiiWare will be a very strong possibility in the future.

The press release issued today gives a few more basic details about the games finer points:-

“Puzzle Quest 2 features its hallmark blend of match-3 gem matching and fantasy, with a simple but meaningful role playing experience where players can choose any of four character classes; War Mage, Inquisitor, Barbarian or Assassin. Each character class provides interesting twists during multiple play-throughs as players reclaim the once peaceful village of Verloren from the evil clutch of the demon Gorgon. Players will be able to level up each character to progress through the adventure in Story Mode or even dive into Instant Action, Tournament Mode, or Mutliplayer Mode for a rich and diverse experience. With the entire Puzzle Quest world accessible on your fingertips in real-time action, players will be able to get a more streamlined experience for instant gratification.”

We’re looking forward to it already!
