Arcade Archives Tetris The Absolute The Grandmaster 2 Plus

Hamster is bringing Tetris The Absolute The Grandmaster 2 Plus to Switch, the company announced today. A worldwide release is planned for June 1, 2023.

This title features the same puzzle gameplay as the original. However, there are new modes for the sequel including Master mode, which – as pointed out by the game’s Wiki – “extends the classic Tetris: The Grand Master gameplay with larger speed increases, more requirements to achieve the M or GM grades, and an additional challenge when the M rank is achieved where the player must survive the credits roll with the additional handicap of the tetrominoes turning invisible upon locking.” Also included are Normal mode, a Versus mode with item battles, and a co-op mode.
