There’s also a brand new title, Tetris Time Warp. Players clear lines like in regular Tetris until a special Tetrinimo appears, which can send the game into a different “era” on clearing. You must then clear an objective before returning to the “present.” Tetris Time Warp also supports up to four players, who can send each other into various eras, preventing them from attacking.

Those interested in learning more about the series, including the “true story” of how the first game came to be, can also watch Area 5’s documentary featurettes. There are also promotional materials and ads for different titles, with everything presented in a helpful chronological format.

The latest developer diary sees studio head Mike Mika and Tetris Time Warp’s lead designer and programmer Jason Cirillo outlining how this works. Players will start out playing modern Tetris, and upon clearing ten lines, they’ll receive a Time Warp Tetrimino. Clearing a line with this sends the player to a different era with its own mechanics and art style.

You’ll receive an objective, like clearing four lines in the time limit before returning. Multiplayer works differently, with other players sent into different eras that they can’t escape without completing the objective. They can’t attack either, making it a strong defensive strategy.

Tetris Forever launches on November 12th for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Check out the full game list here.
