Peggle Nights expansion coming to XBLA this fall photo

Peggle Xbox LIVE Arcade DLC is a thing that is happening this fall.

This morning, PopCap Games announced the existence of Peggle Nights, an expansion for the lauded -- we liked it, at least -- XBLA release. The content adds sixty levels and challenges to the core game, as well as a new Peggle master, three new Achievements and a Trophy room (whatever that is).

The official release makes it clear that fans planning to buy Peggle Nights will receive all of the content PC and Macintosh owners have been enojying for many moons now. The frills of the XBLA release (multiplayer, stats, and leaderboard support) will be added to the expansion, so don't panic.

In addition to all of this, new style shots have been announced. They will be added to Peggle as a free title upgrade after purchasing Peggle Nights.

The price of the expansion has yet to be decided.

I like Peggle, but I would never buy an expansion for it.

I'll probably pick it up. I really enjoyed Peggle, and as long as this is around 400 or so, I'm sure it'll be worth it to me.

@Brad, MC
Garth Chateau, PR for Popcap, has stated that it's not technically an expansion. That is, the GAME itself: this XBLA release IS an expansion, technically.

Semantics aside, it IS a full new Peggle game regardless, and can be considered a full sequel. It's sold separately as a boxed release on PC.

I think labeling this game as an expansion on the XBLA front is a mistake, considering it will turn off people like MC from purchasing the game. It really undersells the amount of content you get.

Goddamn it. I just picked up Peggle Dual Shot for the DS for the sole reason that it had Nights... and because it was $10. But now I have to pay another $5-$10 for Nights on XBLA? Ah screw it, I'll do it too. I'm a Peggle fiend.

Same! For this XBLA release.

But what I'm saying is essentially, this is Peggle Nights PC, which is a full game's worth of content.

As mentioned, the improper wording "expansion", is really underselling this.

This is what I got from Garth, when I inquired about Peggle Nights

"Hi, Chris!

Well, Peggle Nights is a 'follow-up installment in the Peggle series' – somewhere between a sequel and an expansion… sorry to be vague!"

Instant buy, can't wait for this.....I've gotten more entertainment value out of my $10 Peggle download than anything else I've bought, except maybe Call of Duty.

Peggle Nights XBLA + Plants Vs. Zombies XBLA = Best thing ever

Let me just quickly clarify: This is the full Peggle Nights game, which we originally sorta touted as a sequel to Peggle... Nights has as much content as the original Peggle... On XBLA it effectively IS an expansion since you'll need to own Peggle/XBLA to play Nights/XBLA... how exactly this will impact the price point is TBD...

And I thought I was done with Peggle forever after having 100%'d all of the levels, and 200/200'd the Achievements. Now I have to play MORE? My girlfriend is going to hate this news.
