XBLA: Peggle XBLA To Come With 4-Player Multiplayer

gfwpeggqb2.jpgTalkingaboutgames.com and their podcast Uncle Gamer Radio were able to get the chance to talk with Greg Canessa, VP of the Video Game Platform Group at PopCap, and released a small, separate podcast discussing their recently released Feeding Frenzy 2 game, as well as discussing their upcoming Peggle release for the platform.

Interview with Greg Canessa - PopCap and Peggle

While we work on preparing the full episode of UncleGamer Radio for this week, we present this special interview with Greg Canessa, VP of the Video Game Platform Group at PopCap Games.

We sit down with Greg to talk about last week's release of Feeding Frenzy 2 on the Xbox Live Arcade, the forthcoming release of Peggle on XBLA, and the upcoming DS games.

If you're a Peggle fan, you're in for a treat, as Greg gives us some exclusive information on what we can expect in Peggle XBLA, the price point of the game, and the map pack releases.

In the podcast they were able to get some exclusive information about the game - including that the game is still slated for a 2008 release date. They're currently in the final points of development, and will be sending off the game into certification soon.

Greg also discussed that there is a new two player arena mode, and a four player competitive mode which can be played over Xbox Live. It will also cost 800 Microsoft Points - which is great, considering their PC titles tend to sell for $20.
