The first in a new line of upcoming titles,Tetris Royaleis planned for iOS and Android later this year.
There isn’t footage, but the summary speaks for itself. “Tetris Royalewill feature a variety of game modes, from the hallmark 100-player Tetris Royale mode to massive daily competitions of thousands of players to solo Marathon mode where players can hone theirTetrisskills,” noted N3twork. “Players will have the ability to complete daily challenges while competing in the Tetris Royale mode to earn rewards including customization options as well as power-ups and boosters that can be used in battle.”
In today’s announcement, The Tetris Company also mentioned that N3twork landed a multi-year contract to “exclusively develop and publish newTetrisgames built from the ground up for mobile devices worldwide, excluding China.” This game–Tetris Royale–is just the studio’s opening act.
