Tetris Ultimate was unveiled just ahead of E3 in early June for Xbox One and PS4, promising to deliver “the evolution of the world’s most-loved puzzle game” this summer. A Vita version was later announced for an autumn release alongside a PC version. The 3DS game will also launch in Autumn.
Tetris Ultimate on 3DS will include an “exclusive” single-player Challenge mode that will feature special gameplay tweaks to increase the challenge, such as disappearing Tetriminos (blocks) or Tetriminos with locked orientation.
As previously announced, the game will allow 1-4 players to take part in six different gameplay modes: Marathon, Endless, Ultra, Sprint, Battle and Power-Up Battle.
Players will also be able to team up with friends or create ‘battle teams’ to compete with others online.
Built-in social feeds will allow you to keep track of your friends’ performance. If they beat your score you will be able to download and watch a replay of their performance to study where they went right.
There will also be online leaderboards, an official Tetris ranking system and the option to play by Tetris Championship Rules “to see where you place among the most elite players”.
Tetris Ultimate will be released this autumn, and will be a digital download only.
