Tetris Forever release date set for November

Digital Eclipse nailed down a release date for Tetris Forever. The compilation arrives for Switch on November 12, 2024, the company revealed today.

Tetris Forever was originally made known via a Nintendo Direct earlier in the year. Originally, we were given a vague 2024 launch window.

Here’s an overview of the package:

Explore four decades of Tetris history with more than 15 games, including several classics making their debut outside Japan for the first time. Relive the game’s origin in 1984 with a faithful recreation of the first Tetris on the Electronika 60 computer, face off in the multiplayer favorite Tetris Battle Gaiden, unleash massive explosions to clear lines in Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss, and enjoy many other classic games.

Tetris Forever also features a brand-new game, Tetris Time Warp, developed by Digital Eclipse. This new take on the classic lets players “warp” through different eras of Tetris, experiencing a dynamic mix of graphics, play styles, and mechanics in real time.
