The last mainline Puzzle Quest game was released way back in 2010. Since then, we have been given a few spin-offs and a well-received Nintendo Switch enhancement of the original, but fans haven’t been treated to an official part 3. Until now.
Announced today, Puzzle Quest 3 will be the first game in the series since 505 Games purchased the franchise’s developer, Infinity Plus Two, this month.
Due to launch as a free to play title for PC and mobile later this year (with other platforms still to be announced), Puzzle Quest 3 is set 500 hundred years after the first game and is set to feature the usual gem-matching, puzzle RPG action that fans have come to know and love over the years. If you haven’t played one, think RPG, but random battles are replaced with something like Bejewelled.
You can take a look at the announcement trailer below and whet your appetites:
Whilst the trailer doesn’t give anything away, it’s nice for fans to know a new game is at least coming. Leaks are one thing, but confirmation is another.
Following the announcement, CEO and Creative lead at developers Infinity Plus Two, Steve Fawkner, had this to say:
Quite what the unexpected introduction will be is anyone’s guess, but he did promise that it will appeal to both old and new fans, so color me intrigued.
Puzzle Quest 3 will release at some point later in the year; we’ll bring you more when it arrives.
