The Peggle<\/a> series may have long been lost to the free-to-play maelstrom that is mobile gaming, but PC gamers jonesing for a fantastical pachinko fix can at least console themselves with Peglin<\/a>. The game takes the ball-bouncing, peg-busting fundamentals of Peggle, then smashes it together with a fantasy roguelike where a cute wee goblin batters enemies based on your pachinko performance.<\/p>\n

Peglin released into Steam early access in 2022, hitting 1.0 two years<\/a> later. It seemed like a neat and tidy project, garnering ‘Very Positive’<\/a> Steam reviews and seemingly shifting a fair old number of copies. But it turns out that developer Red Nexus Games wasn’t done with Peglin. 18 months on from Peglin’s launch, Red Nexus Games just fired an unexpectedly meaty update into the pachinko roguelike’s peg hole.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a long time coming, but here’s Peglin 2.0!” Red Nexus Games announced out of the blue in a Steam post<\/a>, revealing that a whole new act has been bolted on to the end of your goblin’s adventure. “Act 4 features both powerful new enemies and the chance to really make the finishing touches on your awesome Peglin run, so long as you survive the challenges required to get there.”<\/p>\n
