Peggle bounces onto XBLA this week

Online multiplayer mode exclusive to the Xbox 360 version.

PopCap Games has announced that this week will see the release of Peggle on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

The hugely popular casual video game heads to Xbox LIVE Arcade with a host of new features, including the first-ever online multiplayer Peggle experience with Peg Party mode, in which up to four players can compete simultaneously over Xbox LIVE.

The game also offers local and Xbox LIVE two-player Dual mode, DLC support, Achievements, online leaderboards and high definition visuals.

"Peggle has become a cult gaming phenomenon, crossing over and becoming as big a hit with hard core gamers as it has with casual players. This makes XBLA the perfect platform for the game," stated Greg Canessa, VP of video game platforms at PopCap.

Peggle will be released on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday priced 800 MS Points.
