PopCap Gives Bejeweled a Modern Make-over

PopCap Games has launched an updated version of Bejeweled as an iOS app, with high resolution graphics and Retina Display support for the iPhone 4S. 

“With nearly 40 million mobile units sold over the past eight years, Bejeweled is the second best-selling mobile game of all time, behind only Tetris,” says Giordano Bruno Contestabile, Bejeweled franchise business director. “As we strive to reach virtually everyone with a mobile communications device, PopCap will continue to make games that are even more accessible to that ever-expanding global audience. We’re taking a critical step toward this goal with the introduction of these new Bejeweled titles that will enhance our offerings on the iPhone for years to come.”

PopCap has also released a standalone, freemium edition of Bejeweled Blitz – which is free to download but with paid features – while Bejeweled 2 will be retired to “make way for the next generation of the franchise”.
