PopCap to Debut New Bejeweled Title in October

Casual entertainment software publisher PopCap Games reported Monday that it will launch the latest version of its flagship Bejeweled series next month. The Seattle-based company said the new title, called Bejeweled Twist, has been in development for more than three years and will shake up the "Match 3" genre of puzzle games that the original Bejeweled established eight years ago. PopCap said it will formally unveil Bejeweled Twist at a gala event on Monday, Oct. 27, at Seattle’s Experience Music Project Sci-Fi Museum and Hall of Fame. The game, PopCap added, will retail for $19.95 and will initially be available exclusively as a Web download from the firm's web site.
