As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours mastering the art of Tetris over the past few decades, I must say that the announcement of Tetris Forever has me absolutely ecstatic! With its vast collection of classic titles and an all-new game, this compilation is a dream come true for any fan of the legendary puzzle game.

The full list of titles set to appear in Tetris Forever has been revealed ahead of the game’s release in 2024. Developed by Digital Eclipse, Tetris Forever will include both familiar entries and some previously only available in Japan, with the compilation celebrating the 40th anniversary of the legendary puzzle game.

Announced during a Nintendo Direct broadcast in August 2024, “Tetris Forever” is set to be a combination of a game anthology and a documentary exploring the creation and impact of one of gaming history’s most beloved puzzle games. Originally developed for the Soviet-made Electronika 60 in 1984, it wasn’t until its 1989 release for the Game Boy that “Tetris” truly became a household name, with over 35 million copies sold on the handheld console alone. Over more than four decades, 220 official versions of the game have been launched, and its impact is undeniable. With “Tetris Forever,” Digital Eclipse aims to celebrate the franchise’s rich history by offering a comprehensive collection of games and bonus content.

Prior to the scheduled release of Tetris Forever in 2024, Digital Eclipse has unveiled a complete list of games that will be part of this collection. Some of these games will make their international debut, having previously been released only in Japan. Players can anticipate playing everything from the original Electronika 60 version of the game to Tetris Battle Gaiden, a multiplayer battle title initially launched for the Super Famicom in 1993. Multiple versions of Super Bombliss, known as Tetris Blast in North America and Europe, will also be included in the games lineup for Tetris Forever. This game requires players to place bombs, in addition to the traditional mechanic of creating rows from falling colored shapes.
