PEGLIN IS LAUNCHING MAY 1ST ON PLAYSTATION AND XBOX

The addictive roguelike pachinko comes to home consoles after its successful release on Steam and Nintendo Switch

Villareal, Spain. April, 2025 – Indie game publisher BlitWorks Games announces the release of Peglin (by Red Nexus Games) for PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series, coming on May 1st after its successful release on Steam and Nintendo Switch on August 27th 2024–following its announcement on Indie World by Nintendo.
 
Genres: roguelike, pachinko, deck-builder, turn-based RPG
 
The peaceful village of the Peglins has been ravaged by an evil dragon, and it’s your time to step up! Armed with pebbles, navigate through various challenges and reclaim the little ones' home.
 

“Peglin, in simplified terms, is what would happen if Peggle had a baby with a roguelike              dungeon crawler, and it’s very much as awesome as that sounds on paper.”
                                                                            – Touch Arcade, 4.5/5                                                                                
 
  • The definitive mix between pachinko and roguelike
Make way level by level, choose your next challenge and defeat enemies and bosses by bouncing orbs across the screen. Decide which stage to go to after each encounter... but the choice itself is also a pachinko level, so it may not turn out the way you wanted!
  • Deck-builder (Or should we say… pebble-builder?)
Gather your deck and enjoy endless replayability in each run thanks to a wide array of levels, orbs, enemies, relics, encounters and characters to unlock; each with totally different stats and game-changing abilities, offering endless combinations. Every run is different!
 
And for the most daring... after each successfully completed run, a new difficulty level is unlocked! Up until Cruciball 20.
 
  • Turn-based combat
Fight in turns against waves of enemies, decide who to attack first with some special orbs, upgrade your pebbles, get or buy new ones and prepare to face the final boss of each stage.

  
“I’ve already finished a number of runs with the zeal and hope for cooler combinations of              treasures and orbs, therefore, I couldn’t help but start a new run right after. The gameplay    
loop is relaxing and yet very engaging.” – GeekTyrant (9/10)
 
Since its release, Peglin has received several updates that have added content such as new bosses, enemies, battles, relics and orbs, and improved balancing.
 
Defeat the dragon, bring peace back to their world and prove yourself as the hero the Peglins need. Bounce to victory!
 

Peglin launches on PlayStation and Xbox for 19,99 USD / 19,99 Euros. Embargo ends April 26th.
