All the animal loving gamers will be completely excited to find out that their favorite title, Viva Pinata, will mark its return much sooner than everybody expected - on the 5th of September this year! It seems that Microsoft has really hit the fast forward button on the development of the title (or just kept the secret flawlessly), since the new title was officially announced just a while ago.

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise will bring its fans more than 30 brand new pinata species, a few extra co-op campaign options and lots of gameplay modes. It also promises to offer limitless fun for all the animal lovers in the family. We tend to believe that dads will still prefer a more hardcore title, but one can never know when a fluffy little creature can mess with their senses.

Anyway, back to Microsoft's sequel - we'll also notice a bigger Pinata Island in the game, as well as brand new regions: the Pinarctic (a snowy region where you'll find pi?atas that prefer cooler temperatures and the occasional blizzard, like Pengums and Polollybears) and the Dessert Desert (where Camellos and Jameleons love the arid sun). The players will now get the chance to explore wild areas outside the garden, encounter all the cute little creatures and try to bait them to the garden by adding patches of snow or sand, similar to how you add grass and water.

The game is, for the moment, announced as an Xbox 360 exclusive, but there are many chances for the PC to get it sometime during next year (don't take it as a given fact, it's just a personal opinion). Until then, we should be happy to know that Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise will be released this September, just in time for the holiday season.
