Tetrisis one of the most iconic video games of all time. Whether it’s the classic Game Boy version from three decades ago or continual variations today, the puzzle game is the best kind of addictive and replayable. TheTetrisgame on mobile, developed by N3TWORK, brings the fun of the game on the go. But now the game is being updated with something that the Game Boy version couldn’t dream to accomplish.

Tetris Primetimeis coming to the mobile app and it is a “mix between a live television show and a video game tournament.” Players will be able to play for over a million dollars in yearly prizes. The details sound similar to the mobile trivia gameHQ, which went from massive success to disappointing failure rather quickly. AlthoughHQhas recently made a return.
Players will be able to log on at 7:30 pm in cities around the globe, including Auckland, Perth, Moscow, Berlin, London, New York City, and Los Angeles. The developers are calling these locations “anchor” cities. The game/game show will be hosted by Millen Baird, best known for Housebound (2014), one of the moreobscure and uplifting horror moviesof late.
Along with the newTetris Primetimegame within theTetrismobile app, N3TWORK also recently revealed a battle royale within the game, and this will also be updated into theTetrismobile app. It is likely that it will play similarly toTetris 99, the popular and still evolvingTetrisgameon the Nintendo Switch.
Tetrisis more than just an infinitely replayable puzzler, as the game has had countless successful spin-offs. The series has even made its way to VR, withTetris Effectbeing leakedand eventually launched on the Oculus, after first coming to the PS4.
There have been so many wonderfulTetrisgames that it is even possible to make atop 10Tetrisgameslist, something that cannot be said for most puzzle game franchises. Many would claim that the mobile version ofTetrisdeserves to be on the list, but time will tell ifTetris Primetimein it of itself will go down as one of the bestTetrisexperiences.
Tetrisis available now on iOS and Android
