It looks like Popcap is going to finally release a new Peggle game, as evidenced by a job listing in Gamasutra looking for a new art director for a ”Peggle reboot”. Last month, Popcap producer Adam Orth tweeted that he was looking for an art director for a new Peggle project. The tweet, of course, was quickly deleted.
However, the new job listing explicitly states the company is looking for someone with over seven years of experience, reading, “PopCap is looking for an Art Director to join our Peggle Franchise Studio. The Peggle Franchise Art Director will be responsible for defining and directing a stylistic reboot of our Peggle franchise.”
The original Peggle was released on PC on February 2007 to rave reviews. The pachinko-themed game became Popcap’s biggest all-time seller, and was followed by the expansion Peggle Nights.
