Bejeweled 3 has been announced for PC by Popcap Games, the kings of casual entertainment. It will be released both digitally at PopCap.com as well as at retail.
The game seems to largely be the same as before though, simply adding four new re-imagined modes to the mix (like Ice Storm, Butterflies and Poker) and 11 new mini-games to the Quest Mode, which brings the total to 40.
Also featured is a new Zen Mode, which lets you customize the gameplay with ambient sounds and beats.
A visual makeover will also be made with high-definition graphcis, more fluid gameplay than ever before and better audio and music.
Here is the game’s debut trailer.
“The challenge in creating a new version of Bejeweled is to innovate and keep it fresh and exciting without losing touch with the game-play that millions of people love,” said Bejeweled and PopCap creator Jason Kapalka.
“So we’re very careful when we make changes to the core game, which is why it can take so long! We’ve worked hard to make sure Bejeweled 3 retains the classic appeal of the earlier games while bringing a host of exciting new features to the table.”
