GAME TRAILERS VIDEO PREVIEW
GameTrailers.com has posted a preview video of Puzzle Quest 2 with plenty of gameplay footage. The preview also highlights the advances to gameplay and art style in this highly anticipated sequel.
JS: Puzzle Quest 2 seems like exactly the kind of update fans will want: a few new mechanics and a new setting built around the same core gameplay. The team is very aware of fan feedback on Galactrix, and even though Puzzle Quest 2 is a very different game from Challenge of the Warlords, I'm definitely looking forward to sinking some hours into the RPG/gem-matching mashup when it comes out later this summer.
Worth Playing has an interview with Tim Ramage, executive producer at D3 Publisher of America. Here is a small sample:
WP: Puzzle Quest 2 is a true sequel to Puzzle Quest versus a spin-off of Galactrix, correct?
TR: Yes, with Puzzle Quest 2, we're going back and providing a true sequel to Puzzle Quest 1. With Galactrix, it was more of a spin-off in the Puzzle Quest world. This time, with Puzzle Quest 2, we're bringing everything that was epic in Puzzle Quest 1 to life in Puzzle Quest 2, with a new type of adventure. It's more of a dungeon crawler type of adventure where players essentially get a chance to explore the world from a closer point of view. It's a single world where you, as an adventurer, stumble upon this town of Verloren, which is cursed by this magic that has overtaken a nearby castle. You are there to solve the mystery.
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 19, 2010—Namco Networks, a leading publisher and developer of mobile, iPhone and PC games for mass-market casual gamers, will launch the PC version of Puzzle Quest™ 2 in North America this summer and the mobile, iPhone and iPad versions later this year. Puzzle Quest 2, the sequel to the award-winning Puzzle Quest, is a Match 3 puzzle, fantasy and role-playing game developed by Infinite Interactive and produced by D3Publisher (D3P) where gamers reclaim the once peaceful village of Verloren from the evil clutches of the demon Gorgon.
