Sudoku, the incredibly popular puzzle game has recently taken the world by storm. Eidos Interactive, along with Zoonnami Ltd. are planning to capitalize on that popularity by creating something entirely new called Zendoku. The game is said to combine exciting puzzle battle action with the addictiveness of Sudoku. In the game, you will be able to either attack or defend against a challenger or race the clock in timed games.

The game will be released for both the PSP and DS and will not be a simple one-player game, rumor has it that there will be wireless multi-player modes available for both platforms. They’ve set a release date of sometime in Spring 2007.

“We’re excited about working with Zoonami and bringing Zendoku to the handheld gaming audience,” says Matt Gorman, Director of Marketing for Eidos Interactive. “Zendoku brings a new and fresh perspective to the enormously popular Sudoku puzzle craze.”
