Puyo Puyo Tetris to Launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 in April

Bringing the Puyo Puyo series to the newest generation of video game consoles for the first time in western markets, and for quite some time for that matter, SEGA have confirmed that Puyo Puyo Tetris will be launched on April 25th in North America, and a few days later on April 28th in PAL regions including Australia and New Zealand. This puzzle game, which serves as a crossover between Puyo Puyo and Tetris franchises, will be available simultaneously on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Despite PlayStation 3 and Xbox One editions initially being offered in Japan, there is no word on if these will eventually be offered at a later date.

Puyo Puyo Tetris sets out to offer a number of single-player and multi-player experiences. If you are opting to play as a lone wolf during a play session, you can opt to go through an “Adventure Mode”, which presents a story featuring characters from the Puyo Puyo and Tetris universes. Alternatively, you can choose to test your skill against the CPU in “Solo Arcade” mode.

Wish to test your puzzle solving skills against other players? Puyo Puyo Tetris also offers a number of multiplayer modes, including:

  • Versus – Players compete head-to-head in either Puyo Puyo or Tetris.
  • Swap – Players’ compete on both Puyo Puyo and Tetris boards, which switch back and forth at set intervals.
  • Fusion – Players compete with Puyos and Tetriminos together on the same board.
  • Big Bang – It’s a race to the finish as players compete against each other to clear challenge boards as quickly as possible to win.
  • Party – Players compete on Puyo or Tetris boards, but the puzzles feature special items that when activated either help players or harm their opponents.

Each console will have different editions offered for them. If you opt to purchase a copy of the PlayStation 4 edition, you will be able to nab yourself a copy for $29.95 USD. On the other hand, while a digital copy on the Nintendo Switch will also set you back $29.95 USD, SEGA will be offering a special physical launch edition set for $39.99 USD. In addition to a copy of the game, this set will include two Puyo Puyo and Tetris themed keychains.
