Original Article – August 28th 2024

Have you enjoyed what Digital Eclipse have looked to tell in Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story and The Making of Karateka? It’s some block-dropping that is next on the list as Tetris Forever is unveiled. 

From Digital Eclipse and The Tetris Company, Tetris Forever will land on PC and console (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) later in 2024, with a holiday launch feeling like the perfect time for such a game.

The next in Digital Eclipse’ library

It’s the latest in the studio’s Gold Master Series, providing players with the chance to take in a variety of different Tetris gaming experiences, ripped from the last four decades. Alongside those will be a brand new game, crafted by Digital Eclipse themselves. 

Taking players through the evolution of a phenomenon with more than 15 playable Tetris versions and more than 90 minutes of exclusive docu-features, Tetris Forever will see you enjoying the lifelong friendship and creative partnership between Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov and The Tetris Company founder Henk Rogers, diving into the remarkable odyssey that shaped one of the most iconic games in history.

Journey through four decades of Tetris with more than 15 playable classic games, including several being released outside of Japan for the first time. See where it all began in 1984 with an accurate recreation of the first version of Tetris on the Electronika 60 computer; battle your friends in the multiplayer cult favorite Tetris Battle Gaiden; create massive explosions to clear lines in Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss, and many more memorable game experiences.

New Tetris!

What’s more, Tetris Forever will also come complete with an all-new Tetris game – Tetris Time Warp! In this original variant from Digital Eclipse, players will ‘warp’ between different eras of Tetris in real time to experience a variety of classic graphics, playstyles, and game mechanics. Will it be better than Tetris Effect: Connected?

“We’re incredibly honored to be entrusted with Tetris,” said Mike Mika, Studio Head of Digital Eclipse. “Its impact on the game industry cannot be overstated, and we’re excited to share this international collection of diverse Tetris variations alongside the stories told by Henk Rogers and Alexey Pajitnov of the many challenges they faced bringing this game to the world. “

“Our collaboration with Digital Eclipse on Tetris Forever was a long time coming, and we enjoyed being able to work on a project that honors the incredible legacy of Tetris and the creative brilliance that has driven its lasting success,” said Maya Rogers, CEO of Tetris. “For four decades, Tetris has captivated hundreds of millions, and this interactive experience gives fans an unparalleled opportunity to explore its evolution. Tetris is truly a timeless game, and we are excited for everyone to explore these curated game variants and the new surprises Tetris Forever offers.” 

Key features

The key features of Tetris Forever when it lands later in the year will include: 

  • The Game that Started It All: Digital Eclipse has prepared an authentic recreation of the first version of Tetris, which Alexey Pajitnov created on a Soviet “Electronika 60” computer system. Experience the look and feel of Tetris as Alexey envisioned it in 1984.
  • Interactive Timeline: Explore a virtual museum with archival materials, including video featurettes, photos, original ads, and playable games restored in high-definition and presented chronologically.
  • The True Story of Tetris: With over 90-minutes of all-new documentary featurettes produced by Area 5—creators of Outerlands, Grounded: The Making of The Last of Us and Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II—unravel the true story of Tetris in its purest form.
  • An All-New Tetris Game: Tetris Time Warp, an all-new Tetris variant by Digital Eclipse will have up to four players warping between different eras of Tetris in real time to experience a variety of memorable graphic styles and play mechanics! 

Coming soon!

Give the trailer a watch and then hold tight for release of Tetris Forever on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC later in the year.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
