Sameer Baroova, development director at PopCap Games, revealed the news while speaking with Pocket Gamer. He said then“I am delighted to confirm that we are working on bringing both Peggle and Plants vs Zombies to Android in early 2011.”
Now it is absolutely “early 2011”, does it mean that it is the right time to release the anticipating games? According to Androidnews, an android news website, Bejeweled 2 is going to be released this week. After that there will be Peggle, Plants vs. Zombies and Chuzzle, to be until Q2 2011. Following these, the Android version of Bejeweled 3 will be launched too.
In the following passage, is the conversation between androidnews and PopCap:
androidnews.de: Could you give us some information concerning the progress of porting your much awaited games to the Android platform? Is there any specific date that we should mark in our calendars?
PopCap: We at PopCap tend not to directly “port” our games to new devices. Instead, we adapt them to each appropriate new device or platform, customizing the controls, graphics and other elements as much as possible to optimize the experience.
We expect to have four of our games available for Android in Q2 this year. In terms of dates, EA will release Bejeweled 2 in the Android Marketplace the week of January 17th. Plants vs. Zombies, Peggle and Chuzzle are our immediate focus and Bejeweled 3 will follow. We will be releasing these games for select Android-enabled devices. We have not yet announced the specific Android devices.
Whenever, it won’t be long! Twitter user Greenspeak (listed as PopCap’s director of editorial and Social Media, Jeff Green) has taken a couple of photos of the two hit games running on an Android device. He also offers the following sage commentary: “OMG! I’m playing Peggle on an Android phone! Wowee!”
