Puzzle Quest Gets Proper Sequel

Puzzle Quest Galactrix? That was a sci-fi spinoff. Puzzle Quest 2 is the direct sequel to Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords and it’s coming in spring 2010. “Puzzle Quest 2 returns with a captivating, rewarding, and accessible journey for gamers of all levels as the ultimate delivery system for the mental release puzzle gamers seek,” says Peter Andrew, Vice President of Product Development at D3 Publisher.

Infinite Interactive, the developers of the Puzzle Quest series, are working on Puzzle Quest 2 for Xbox Live Arcade and the Nintendo DS. The game uses the same match three formula with four new classes: War Mage, Inquisitor, Assassin, and Barbarian. The first set of screenshots and art focus on the Barbarian class, which uses red gems to crush enemies when pummel is activated.
