According to the official blurb, Puzzle Quest 3 returns to its origins, "recalling the deep RPG mechanics and signature heroic storylines that made the original a standout hit within the Match-3 category".

It's set 500 years after the original Puzzle Quest, and features a 1v1 battle system set in a 3D world. You travel across Etheria to discover the meaning behind the ancient Red Dragon's dying words.

Expect a launch on PC and mobile device later in 2021, with additional platforms to be announced. Consoles, perhaps?
