Tetris Ultimate gets release date for Xbox One and PS4

And it's sooner than you think!

The last time I was excited for a Tetris game was around 2011, when Facebook added a competitive Tetris game called Tetris Battle. It wasn't long until I realized that there were players much, much more skilled than I was, and my win/loss ratio was about 1/50.

Ubisoft is actually bringing a whole new Tetris Ultimate experience to both new-gen consoles, the Xbox One and PS4, and it's release is right aroudn the corner. Coming out on December 16th for PS4 and December 17th for Xbox One, it will include 6 different modes that will alter the way you play Tetris.

Here is the list of Tetris Ultimate modes in the game:

  • Marathon – Complete level 15 and rack up as many points as you can.
  • Endless – Keep clearing lines until your stamina runs out.
  • Ultra – Race to score as many points possible before time runs out in this three-minute challenge.
  • Sprint – Clear 40 lines as quickly as you can.
  • Battle – Go head-to-head to knock out your challengers.
  • Battle Ultimate – Be the last person playing after using crazy power-ups! Go on the offensive with Carousel and make your opponent’s Matrix shift to the left after each move, or trigger Let It Rain and dump blocks down on top of them. Buzz Saw helps you advance by clearing away a number of your lines, especially useful when you’re in a spot of trouble.
