Tetris Effect: Connected has been announced for the Nintendo Switch, and it will be released on October 8, 2021, the same day as the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) and Metroid Dread.
This exciting bit of news was revealed at today's Indie World Showcase, and new players and fans of the game that was first released in 2018 will soon be able to take this special take on Tetris wherever they go.
The version that is coming to switch is Tetris Effect: Connected, which first released in 2020 on Xbox platforms and PC, and adds new 1-3 player co-op and 1-2 player competitive multiplayer modes that are playable online and locally.
The Switch version also supports cross-platform multiplayer, meaning Switch players can play with or against others on Xbox, PC, and PlayStations players.
In our Tetris Effect review, we said that "the merging of time-tested gameplay with the synesthesia-inducing sound and visual design of Tetsuya Mizuguchi creates something you’ve likely never experienced."
Tetris Effect: Connected will join a system that has had a unique Tetris experience of its own in Tetris 99. For those who need a bit of Tetris until Tetris Effect: Connected is released, they can check out the most recent theme that is inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
