Tetris Forever will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and GOG on November 12, Digital Eclipse announced. The key art for the collection was also unveiled.
“Tetris was one of the first video games I played as a child, blending logic and fun in a way that really stuck with me,” said key art creator, artist, and musician Willea Zwey in a press release. “When I was approached for this project, it felt like a perfect connection, especially with my background in architecture. I wanted to reimagine the game by creating a surreal architectural space that celebrates the endless possibilities of Tetriminos.”
Zwey continued, “The design feels like a gallery space, with the Tetriminos as the central displays, and I wanted to incorporate movement to emphasize their dynamic nature. The multi-dimensional perspective pushes beyond traditional boundaries, while the night-like scene, with glowing Tetriminos, brings a fresh, vibrant feel to the game. Adding small figures highlights both the scale and spontaneity of the game’s limitless potential.”
Here is an overview of the collection, via Digital Eclipse:
