To celebrate the 40th anniversary ofTetris, thebest game of all time(you can’t change our minds on this), Digital Eclipse is releasingTetris Forever, an interactive museum and collection that lets you play Tetris titles from across history, along with a brand new version.
Tetris Foreverwas revealed duringNintendo’s August Partner Showcaseon Tuesday. It doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s planned for sometime this year. It’ll also be available across all platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, and GOG.
The collection will, of course, feature a “recreation” of the original 1984Tetris, along with the 1988 Famicom version,Tetris 2+ Bombliss, the multiplayerTetris Battle Gaiden, Tetris 3, and others. There’s also a new Tetris, calledTetris Time Warp, which fits right in with the retrospective element of the collection by letting you switch between different gameplay and visual eras. It also supports up to four-player co-op.
The pack also has 90 minutes of new documentary video chronicling thegame’s history and its creators, alongside an interactive museum element that lets you explore photos, video, and other archival materials. This all feels like the ultimate way to experienceTetrisoutside of an arcade or having a gigantic collection of separate titles.
TheAtari-owned Digital Eclipsespecializes in classic video games, and has made a name for itself over the past few years with collections that pack together games, videos, and more into “interactive documentaries.” Recent products includeLlamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, which lets you play through 42 Minter titles, andThe Making of Karateka, which not only offers up the original two game in the series, but also a game-like way to explore prototypes and video.
