Puyo Puyo Tetris will launch in the Americas on April 25 and Europe on April 28, SEGA announced today.

As previously mentioned, the game will be sold digitally for $30 and physically for $40. The latter option, available in “limited quantities”, is a special release with two Puyo Puyo and Tetris-themed keychains.

View a new trailer for Puyo Puyo Tetris below along with an overview of the game’s modes.

– Versus – Players compete head-to-head in either Puyo Puyo or Tetris to fight in the puzzle fight of their life.
– Swap – Players’ abilities are put to the ultimate test when they compete on both Puyo Puyo and Tetris boards, which switch back and forth at set intervals.
– Fusion – A true hybrid game where players compete with Puyos and Tetriminos together on the same board, requiring deft, on-the-fly thinking to become victorious.
– Big Bang – It’s a race to the finish as players compete against each other to clear unique challenge boards as quickly as possible to win.
– Party – Players compete on Puyo or Tetris boards, but the puzzles feature special items that when activated either help players or harm their opponents.
