Peggle 2 is a casual puzzle video game developed by PopCap Games and published by Electronic Arts. It is the official sequel to Peggle (2007), although a previous follow-up to the PC game was released in 2008. In production since 2012, Peggle 2 was announced during the E3 2013 press conference and also as a timed exclusive for the Xbox One. Although the gameplay mechanics remain mostly the same, Peggle 2 features a different set of masters, with Bjorn Unicorn and Jimmy Lightning (as a DLC) as the only returning members among a set of five other new ones. An Xbox 360 version of the game was released on May 7, 2014, as well as a PlayStation 4 version on October 14, 2014.
Critically, Peggle 2 was praised for its new masters and the implementation of them; its vibrant visual, soundtrack, and the addition of trial levels and challenges. However, it was also criticized for not having enough facets that made it truly different from its predecessors.
