Peggle 2 launched yesterday on the Xbox One and PopCap Games has now confirmed that a very special DLC will soon appear, in the form of the Duels mode, which can be played either locally or online.

Peggle 2 was eagerly awaited by millions of franchise fans who have already spent hundreds of hours with previous installments like Peggle or Peggle Nights.

Now, after the game's debut on the Xbox One as a timed exclusive, PopCap Games Producer Jared Neuss has revealed on the studio's Facebook page that the first DLC for the title will be a Duels mode

"While I can’t reveal too much, I’m happy to announce that we’re currently focused on bringing you a multiplayer mode that may sound familiar to Peggle veterans: Duels! This new mode will enable players to compete against each other, in the same room or across the Internet, head-to-head on the same board. We loved Duel mode in the original Peggle and can’t wait to bring it into the updated world of Peggle 2," the producer said.

What's more, Neuss has also promised to fans that PopCap will continue to create new things for Peggle 2 in the future and that more add-ons, not to mention community activities, will appear soon enough.

"I’m also happy to announce that Duels are just the beginning. There are lots of surprises in store for Peggle 2 fans and we’ll be bringing you regular updates as we continue to expand and add to the world that we’ve built."

"In the meantime, we’d also like to get together with you for a community gaming night, where the Peggle dev team faces off against fans in a few friendly-and-not-at-all-incredibly-competitive rounds of Peg Party. More to come on that as we lock down dates and times."

PopCap is also expected to launch Peggle 2 on other platforms besides the Xbox One in the future.
