Tetris Forever trailer shows off “Tetris Time Warp”

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that Tetris Forever is shaping up to be a game I won’t want to miss! The new Tetris Time Warp mode, with its era-skipping, time-bending action, sounds like an exciting twist on the classic game.


On November 21st, you’ll find Tetris Forever – a nearly unparalleled compilation for devoted followers of this enduring series. But a recently unveiled trailer gives us a glimpse of something fresh within the collection: Tetris Time Warp, a newly created game.

Digital Eclipse announces: “Tetris Time Warp is a fresh, single and multiplayer game that takes players on a thrilling journey through various versions of Tetris games spanning different eras. Each game features unique graphics and rules. Engage in local multiplayer with friends, manipulate, rotate, and place your Tetriminos to emerge victorious.

Check out the trailer, below:


 

Players starting Tetris Time Warp will begin their journey in contemporary Tetris. However, there’s a catch: When they encounter the mysterious Time Warp Tetrimino, they’ll be transported to a past era of the iconic game, celebrating its 40-year evolution! They’ll need to adapt and play according to the rules of “1984” (based on the original Tetris on the Soviet Electronika 60), “1989” (characteristic of the black-and-white handheld era), or “1993” (inspired by the fast-paced Bombliss series). In multiplayer, challenge up to four friends in a dynamic competition as you all simultaneously jump between the different eras of Tetris!

Today, a trailer featuring a conversation between lead designer and programmer of Tetris Time Warp, Jason Cirillo, and studio head Mike Mika from Digital Eclipse was released. They discuss the origins of Tetris Time Warp’s unique time-traveling gameplay mechanics and offer glimpses into its various single player and multiplayer modes.

Here’s some key features about Tetris Forever:
