Details about Peggle 2 may have been scarce at EA’s E3 press conference, but as part of Microsoft’s Gamescom presentation today, the company confirmed that the much-anticipated sequel will be coming first to Xbox One.
Additionally, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare will also be a timed-exclusive for Xbox One.
Peggle 2 release gameplay details and date information remains unknown.
Today at Microsoft’s Gamescom showcase, the company confirmed that the Xbox One iteration of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be getting exclusive content. Unfortunately, Microsoft didn’t elaborate on what that exclusive content will be, apart from The Division’s already-known Smartglass functionality.
As was the case with The Division at E3, there was a focus on Smartglass, Microsoft’s tablet companion primarily geared towards Xbox. As we already knew, players on Smartglass can join games and assist a squad, helping to change the outcome of a match. With a top-down, RTS-like view on Smartglass, players can receive buffs, highlight opponents on the map, send in air strikes, and more.
Tom Clancy’s The Division is slated to come out in late 2014 on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Microsoft has unveiled its indie developer self-publishing program for the Xbox One.
Applications to the ID@Xbox Program will be accepted from 20th August at www.xbox.com/id and if a developer is accepted, it will become a registered Xbox One developer.
ID@Xbox will give two development kits at no cost and developers will have access to the full power of the console, cloud services, Kinect and the Xbox Live toolset including Xbox SmartGlass, Multiplayer, Achievements and Gamerscore.
Developers will also benefit from a global support team, headed up by ID@Xbox director Chris Charla, while all games will be located together on the Xbox One Store, making things a whole lot easier to find.
“We know Xbox fans will fall in love with the quality and diversity of games on our platform,” Marc Whitten, Xbox Chief Product Officer, said. “We are committed to ID@Xbox and are fully invested in helping independent developers succeed on Xbox One.”
Microsoft EMEA boss Phil Harrison added: “I am really looking forward to the diversity and creativity of games that will come to Xbox One through the ID@Xbox program. We’ve worked with the community of developers to craft a platform that helps creators self-publish on Xbox One – irrespective of their size or location.”
