SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
PopCap Games, creator of some of the world's most beloved video game
franchises and a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), today
announced that Peggle™ 2 is coming for the Xbox

couch or online.
Peggle 2 has become more magical with the first installment of
downloadable content available today for Xbox One, the all-in-one games
entertainment system from Microsoft, which features the awesome
multiplayer Duel Mode - a profound new experience that's completely and
utterly free. In a smart match, a private match or just relaxing on the

skill. Which mighty Peggle Master will you pick? And who will reach the
heights of Extreme Fever first? You'll have to play Duel Mode to find
out!
"With all the excitement from our fans in December at launch we knew we
wanted to continue growing the Peggle universe starting with more
content and then expand onto the Xbox 360," said John Vechey, General
Manager at PopCap Games. "By offering the addition of Duel Mode, our
fans will be able to challenge their friends continuously to find out
who is the ultimate ‘Peggle Master'."
Just as in the classic original, Peggle 2 combines elements of
pinball, pachinko and billiards and adds liberal doses of whimsy, fun,
excitement and challenge - not to mention rainbows and a fifth of
Beethoven.
Peggle 2 will be available for Xbox 360 starting on May 7 in
North America and in Europe. For more information on the game, please
