Digital Eclipse has revealed the full collection of Tetris games included in its upcoming Tetris Forever collection and it’s an impressive list.
Announced in August, Tetris Forever isn’t just a collection of past Tetris ports. Not unlike other recent (and excellent) Digital Eclipse releases such as Atari 50 and The Making of Karateka, the game will feature an “interactive timeline” that lets you play through each game in order of release, offering historical context and illuminating how the iconic block-dropping game evolved over 40 years. It also includes a recreated port of the very first version of Tetris developed in the early ‘80s by Alexey Pajitnov for the Soviet Union’s Electronika 60. It sounds like a perfect package for all you fellow Tetris sickos out there, and now we know all the games included in Tetris Forever.
On October 10, Digital Eclipse released the full list of Tetris ports and spin-offs included in the collection. From that previously mentioned OG version of Tetris to the beloved Game Boy version to Hatris and Bombliss, it’s a remarkably large amount of Tetris history, all playable in one place.
Tetris Forever doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s planned to arrive later this year on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC.
