PixelJunk Monsters Encore Details

If you’ve been enjoyed the tower defense-styled PS3 game PixelJunk Monsters, you’ll be happy to hear that an expansion pack, called PixelJunk Monsters Encore, is in development. We’ve learned some new details about the game in addition to what you may have already heard, the most important of which is that Encore will be releasing in May.

The quick rundown of what to expect in Encore:

• 1 new island, Toki Island
• 15 new levels
• 5 new music tracks from Otograph
• Ice Tower is now a stock item
• Reduced gem cost to buy the Tesla Tower
• Releasing in May 2008

PlayStation.Blog has an interview with the developers, including what inspired the game’s art style. There’s more information to come on the game next week, and I’ve got my fingers crossed (however futile it might be) that an online co-op mode will be a part of the expansion.
