Puzzle Quest: Galactrix for PC, DS and 360 this year

Here. The sequel to the game we keep meaning to buy but never do is set in space, a step into the future from Puzzle Quest's original fantasy world. Apparently this one's all about hexagons.

“For Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, our development team will persist in that vein and introduce an innovative hexagonal puzzle board to the mix, along with a deeply immersive new science-fiction setting and storyline that gamers will find irresistible," said Steve Fawkner, Infinite Interactive president.

According to the press release, "In Puzzle Quest: Galactrix a horrifying scientific accident has provoked another race to attempt extermination of humankind; players will create a persistent pilot who gains skills, crafts items, maneuvers among the universe’s political factions, and upgrades the ultimate space fleet as they attempt to end the genocide."

It all sounds very exciting. You'll be able to play it this autumn.
