Zen Bound 2 will be available as an Apple iPad exclusive, despite the original’s popularity on the iPhone and iPod touch. The larger screen will allow for easier object manipulation, improved graphics and a closer view of the rope as players wrap it around wooden sculptures.
Developer Secret Exit plans to create a range of new levels, objects and upgraded versions of stages from the original.
Zen Bound allows players to paint wooden sculptures with a piece of string, with the focus being on relaxation rather than fast-paced action.
Secret Exit said: "This is both a sequel and a revision to the original."
It is aiming to release Zen Bound 2 close to the launch of the iPad in late April. A confirmed date and price are yet to be announced.
