When Tetris Effect launched on PlayStation VR, it took the game to the next level in ways that many of us couldn’t have imagined. The game has evolved since then and it looks like we are about to embrace the competitive, the modes, and the cross-platform playing in new and exciting ways from the music to the backgrounds to the special effects to the PlayStation VR2 features, get ready to be introduced to the game you thought you knew like never before.
Features include:
- An exhilarating single-player experience full of surprises.
Over 30 different stages, each with its own music, sound effects, graphical style, and background that all evolve and change as you play through them - The Zone is an all-new mechanic designed just for Tetris Effect: Connected! – Includes the all-new “ZONE” mechanic, where players can stop time (and Tetriminos falling) by entering “the ZONE” and either get out of a sticky situation that could otherwise lead to “Game Over,” or rack up extra Line Clears for bonus rewards
- Cross-platform multiplayer lets you play with players from all over the world! – Players on different platforms can easily join Friend Match rooms with the new Room ID feature
- A wide variety of competitive and co-op modes! – Among the new modes is “CONNECTED,” where three players can team up and literally connect their Tetris Matrices to fight against A.I.-controlled Bosses; “Zone Battle,” a one-on-one match of standard competitive Tetris, but with a twist: the time-stopping Zone mechanic; and “Score Attack” and “Classic Score Attack,” two single-player versus modes where two players compete separately to see who can get the best score
- Join in on the fun in Spectator mode! – Spectator mode is available in Friend Matches. A room can contain up to 8 total people. Spectators can use emotes during the match to liven up the competition.
