More Puzzle Quest On The Way

D3Publisher of America has confirmed that a second entry in the ultra-addictive Puzzle Quest franchise is due this year. No further details on the title are available, though company also revealed it will be publishing a Shaun the Sheep video game and another Ben 10 title.

Released last year, the Infinite Interactive-developed Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords took the gaming community by storm with its addictive combination of color-matching combat and RPG-style quests. The initial Nintendo DS and PSP editions were followed by PC, PlayStation 2, and Wii iterations along with an Xbox 360 release via the online Xbox Live Arcade.

News of the sequel was buried within a press release announcing the appointment of Adam Roberts as D3PA's managing director. Roberts previously held administrative positions at publishers Vivendi and Empire Interactive.
