Casual game developer, PopCap Games, have announced the imminent launch of Bejeweled 3, the first true sequel to its flagship franchise in more than six years. PopCap claim that Bejeweled 3 features a wealth of new content and triple the fun of previous installments in the series, elevating the Match-3 category of puzzle games pioneered by PopCap a decade ago to an entirely new level.
Besides promising stunning, high-definition graphics and mellifluous music and sound effects, Bejeweled 3 is packed with completely new game experiences in addition to updated
and expanded re-imaginings of the four original game modes from Bejeweled 2. Four all-new secret games including Ice Storm and Poker offer surprising new interpretations of the Bejeweled theme, while Quest mode features eleven mini-games comprising a total of forty quests which are hybrids of Bejeweled game-play with other classic game mechanics.

Jason Kapalka, co-founder and chief creative officer at PopCap and co-creator of Bejeweled, has said of the game, “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. 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.”
Bejeweled 3 will launch on December 7, 2010 available from www.PopCap.com and other major portals in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific as well as at leading retail outlets throughout North America. Electronic Theatre will keep you updated on all the latest news from Bejewelled 3.
