PopCap Bringing Zuma's Revenge Exclusively to XBLA

Richard Walker

PopCap Games has today announced plans to release action puzzler Zuma's Revenge exclusively on the Xbox Live Arcade this summer, bringing with it the new Boss Rush game mode and Weekly Challenges. These new modes will also be joined by an all-new player progression system with its four Spirit Animal Companions and Spirit Badges to earn for powering them up.

Zuma's Revenge will also include 2012 updates, so there'll be no more lives, no more checkpoints and no more game over screens. There'll be a massive 74 leaderboards for the game too and 20 achievements to unlock, as well as two tiki-themed Avatar awardables to snap up.

All of these improvements, as well as upgraded HD visuals will be coming to Zuma's Revenge for Xbox Live Arcade, which is due to release this summer for 800 Microsoft Points. A North America-only retail release is set to follow the game's launch on XBLA at a later date.

  • @1 same...
  • Weakest popcap game there is.
  • Off Toppic: I've seen Costume Quest and Stacking for 600 points this morning (Spain), and 50% cheaper on the DLCs too, I check almost everyday for a change on Costume Quest price so it was a really nice surprise to see it 600 points cheaper than last nigth, but I can't find the complete offer on the 360 nor on internet, anybody has any details of the complete offer before I start spending all my money like crazy on everything related to Double Fine?
  • On Topic: Pass
  • @4 Forums dude...
  • Yeah, sorry, I was too excited. I will keep the forum in mind next time. Anyway, I found that the offer it's not from double fine, but by all the games by it's publisher, THQ.
  • this came out on the dsi store how is it exclusive
  • meh
  • Hah I couldn't even finish Zuma it's so freakin' hard. Not to mention that ridicuolus Score Champion cheevo. Extremely addictive game, though. Unfortunately, the game somewhat is better with a mouse.
  • If it's anywhere near Bejeweled 3's level of addictiveness then I'm in! Butterflies and Diamond mines FTW!
  • Seems odd to release it exclusively to XBLA unless it's radically different to the first when it's so much better with a mouse over analogue sticks, imo. Perhaps the no lives/checkpoints/game-overs could help with that. (Heh, talking of that, it looks like a mouse pointer at the top of the E on that picture but that could be explained in loads of ways most likely.)
  • One of the few popcap games that I want nothing to do with.
  • Fuck Zuma - Ach's are waaayyy too hard for a simple pop cap game; And I've done ALOT of the hardest 200/200 XBLA has to offer!
  • On topic: I had Monte-"Zuma's Revenge" this morning...
  • Lame. Give us some real news, x360a.
  • PopCap should focus on making an awesome RPG games (like Gyromancer).
  • I'll give Zuma some love if no one else will. This is EXCELLENT news!
  • I really enjoy zuma on the go but not sure how well it would work on the xbox... But with the new 400 point limit, the achievement whore inside me is calling to try it out!
  • off topic but its probably why you looked at this thread looks like Bioshock dlc & avatar items on deal of the week back to recycled deals
  • pass
  • Tempting, though what I've played of it on the PC version I didn't like as much as original Zuma.
  • A lot of negativity in this thread. I casually played Zuma years ago and I`m not too interested in this one.
  • Not sure how this is exclusive if it is on other platforms, but okay. Also, I like all the thumbs down to people who don't like Zuma. God forbid.
  • @15 You so funny.
  • Wife loves Zuma and has beaten it over and over again. Just got her this for her DS and I have no problem getting it for her again this summer. Thank you PopCap for making games that my wife loves to play...all I have to do is mention that you made the game and there's no question as to whether or not I can get it.
  • I love this game and Bejeweled 3, but much, much better with a mouse, so PASS.
  • I loved the first one and being a console gamer when I played this on the computer I thought it would be easier with analog sticks and wished it was on the 360. Thanks popcap for bringing the new one to the Xbox too.
  • The president of South Africa should voice the tutorial for this game.
  • Wow I never seen so many thumbs down for so many people. I honestly have never played this before, so I'll give it a try.
  • I like the Zuma games, I'll consider getting this sometime =3
