Peggle 2 is no longer going to be available for purchase on November 22, 2013, the day it was supposed to launch as part of the Xbox One’s release day lineup. This right here is an appropriate response.

Get it out of your system? Good. Confirmation comes directly from developer PopCap, with senior director of PR Garth Chouteau telling VentureBeat, “Peggle 2 is a ‘launch timeframe’ title, but [it] will not launch day-and-date with the Xbox One — instead, it will become available a few weeks later in December.”

Chouteau went on to say that more info is coming soon, but he wouldn’t pin down a specific release date.

We’re in for some hard days ahead, fellow gamers. A Peggle promise unfulfilled is one of life’s most terrifying nightmares. December may only be a week and change after the Xbox One’s launch, and sure, it would be nice to get Peggle 2 as a holiday gift… but November 22 would have been a lot better.

The best Xbox One headsets for 2022

The Xbox One has an amazing array of multiplayer games, but a multiplayer gamer is only as good as its headset. Having a good gaming headset can be the difference between life and (virtual) death in most multiplayer games. Quality headsets can help you hear footsteps behind you, call out instructions to teammates, and even point out locations of enemies. Not hearing a teammate can destroy a winning streak.

We've compiled a list of the best wired and wireless gaming headsets. Our choices below are based on sound quality, comfort, and cost. The Astro Gaming A50 is a high-quality headset that has everything to offer, including Dolby Digital surround sound. These picks are also a worthy choice for the Xbox Series X|S for the time being as we wait for more next-gen optimized headsets.
