If you need more Tetris in your life, Tetris: The Grand Master developer Arika has announced it's signed a license agreement for a new Tetris game.

According to a translation of the official PR, the new title is based on the concept of "Tetris that makes you better at Tetris" (thanks, Gematsu).

"New Tetris will implement new ideas based on the concept of 'Tetris that makes [you] good at Tetris' and is scheduled to be released during the fiscal year 2024. Please stay tuned for further details."

As mentioned, it's scheduled to drop at some point during the current fiscal year (ending March 2025). No platforms have been announced just yet and more details will be shared in the future.

This isn't the only Tetris-related news that's been in the headlines recently. Last month, Digital Eclipse announced Tetris Forever - a new collection will feature 15 classic games.

Nintendo will also be adding the original Tetris to its Switch Online NES library at some point in Winter 2024.

I hope that they keep the bewildering naming going.

"Tetris The Absolute Total And Utter Massively Supreme Grandmaster 3 Plus Plus Super Deluxe Turbo Special Edition."

It's a new game in the Grandmaster series! There's a proper announcement and English description on the official Tetris X account now, you might want to update the story/headline @liam_doolan:

Maybe the unreleased TGM4 they've been developing for years/had in the vaults?

Great news, Tetris relaxes me so! I just wish I didn’t suck at it lol.

@Snatcher I only played Tetris Effect because of the visuals and soundtrack. I'm terrible at the game too.

but will they come up with a better subtitle than Terror Instinct?

@Clyde_Radcliffe a couple days ago the TGM twitter account posted a zoomed in screenshot from the location test version of TGM4 (they've deleted it though) so I think it might actually be TGM4
I just hope that it'll release on consoles and not just arcades

@Snatcher if you play Tetris to be relaxed then you should probably avoid the TGM games, they are very difficult and aren't made to be relaxing
