Arika’s Return to Tetris The Grand Master
Arika has signed an agreement to develop a brand new Tetris The Grand Master game.
Scheduled Release and Evolution
Scheduled for release during the fiscal year 2024, the concept revolves around ‘making players good at Tetris’. Given Arika’s track record with these sequels, fans anticipate not just another level increase but perhaps new gameplay layers or mechanics that add depth to strategy and challenge — all while respecting the core elements of the classic.
Historical Context
Originating in 1998, Tetris The Grand Master breathed new life into the arcade with a more complex yet addictive version compared to the original 1988 arcade release.
Past and Present Projects
Prior iterations such as Tetris The Grand Master 2 (2000) and Tetris: The Absolute - The Grand Master 2 Plus have been celebrated for introducing elements that made the traditional Tetris gameplay more compelling. Further, Tetris The Grand Master Ace, despite being developed for Xbox 360, retained its essence while adapting to new console capabilities.
What does Arika need to do to craft a worthy successor?
