Damn, I almost expected a new game, but I suspected it would be the expansion as they said it would be announced in March.Originally Posted by qzak

Eden is IMO one of the most underrated games ever even though it's pretty highly rated. I think it's the next evolution from Mario in 2D platformers, an evolution I never even thought possible. So cool that they are releasing new content for it, can't wait!

Eden Encore will be coming out very soon in April. Get ready for zero gravity, mirror worlds, all new music from Baiyon, and we’ve added something extra special at the end which is a Big Secret(tm) and is a present to all the fans. On top of all this, we’re flying along with the next new PixelJunk title (we’re calling it #4 for now) and even experimenting with future PixelJunk ideas too.PixelJunk Eden Encore Details
Posted by Dylan Cuthbert // President and Executive Producer, Q-Games Ltd.
This is Dylan from Q-Games, the company behind PixelJunk, and following on from my blog entry last week where I listed what we’ve been doing for the past few months. This entry is all about Eden Encore.
First things first, what have we added? Well, basically we have added five whole new stages, each one choc-a-bloc full of ideas and gimmicks. We also designed five brand new backgrounds for them (each background for a garden is programmed uniquely just for that garden’s style - just in case you hadn’t noticed that in the original), and Baiyon went away and created five brilliant new tracks of music to match it all up.
To make things a little easier we are going to retro-patch the original Eden to have a new feature we created for Encore. This is the three-seed smart-bomb power your Grimp now has. Simply put, if you jump into three full seeds in a row, all the “Prowlers” on the screen explode into a big cloud of pollen. Everyone who boots up their original Eden in a few weeks will be patched and get this feature, so look out for that!
Thinking up new stages for Eden was hard work. We put a lot of stuff into the original game, especially the gardens onwards from garden 04, and we racked our brains for new and interesting ideas to put into this expansion pack, and we think we found some pretty cool ones! One of the first stages has you in a Garden where all the plants are huge and thick, and at the same time there are loads of them, all intertwined. This is a type of stage we didn’t have in the original game - falling isn’t much of an issue in this garden because the vines are practically everywhere.
Also, in another garden we have implemented a zero-G item that once you collect, lets you float and control your Grimp with no fear of falling (well, until the effect wears off of course) which is crazily fun with three players! At the same time that garden is full of some pretty cool puzzles to solve, and we really go to town with the no gravity mechanism. In one of the final gardens we have implemented an entire “mirror” garden that you go in and out of freely via portals scattered throughout. It’s a lot of fun making your way back and forth between the two subtly different “mirror” gardens - what might be a cannon in one is a teleporter in the other; what is open space in one, might be closed off in the other. It’s a lot of fun solving the puzzles.
Right at the end of the game, if you collect all the 25 new Spectra we’ve added, we have put in a big present for our fans - one that will enable you to play the entire game again in a completely different way, so that’s really something for everyone to look forward to.
What else can I say really? This expansion pack isn’t just “some extra levels”; it is full of rich design and will give you weeks of fun, so it’s definitely worth $5.99!

Maybe it is a pic or video of their next game?

It's needs a face, or a mascot like Mario--to really get more buzz I think, but yeah, beneath the surface, I felt nostalgic all over again like SNES with Super Mario World...
I think it should be made into a full-blown game with story/characters/boss battles...

Nor can there be a greater proof of its decadence than the fact that the nearer people are to the Church, the head of their religion, the less religious are they.”

They already said it's something about the gameplay, so no. It's probably mirrored levels or levels with random factors, or maybe some kind of level creator.

Well, I'm back to being #1 in the world in Eden co-op, so I'm pumped for the expansion. I wonder if the leaderboards will be seperate or just cumulative?

$6 isn't too expensive imo.

It's half the game for more than half the price, even though it has additional features other than extra content. I would be happier with a 4.99 or 3.99 price, but I'm just nitpicking because I will get it anyway.

Glad it's coming out already! It's worth the price for the new music alone.

JOYSTIQ: Spoiler alert! PixelJunk Eden Encore's secret mode revealed
by Andrew Yoon { Apr 16th 2009 at 11:00PM }
Did you know that completely beating PixelJunk Eden and its newly released Encore pack will unlock something super-special? Well, now you do. PixelJunk Monsters Encore hid a special random level generator, but Eden's bonus may be more spectacular. This video will showcase a game-changing way of playing the game. For fans of Eden, this is a must-watch.
Check it out.

Damn, I wish I was at home and could view that vid. I dl-ed the Encore last night and like a WacDonald's commercial ad, "I'm Loving It!" I really like the new music as well. I wish a separate soundtrack of the encore was free to all that purchased the DLC. The 3rd level of the Encore, Level 13, is really special IMO. Haven't gotten to the last two yet though.
EDIT:
Bout to look now on the iPiff.

I got that sucker. If anyone needs help finding #126, I recorded its location via youtube. Just search for CreativeWriterPS3 and it should come up.
Looks like I'm (temporarily) #1 in the world in Encore. That's what a five hour stretch will get you this early after release...
