Here’s Connected’s lovely trailer that really pulls on those “everyone is stuck at home, let’s play video games together” heartstrings:

Other new modes for the multiplayer include Zone Battle, which somehow allows players to use the game’s time-stopping mechanic in one-on-one fight. Then there’s the new co-op Connected mode, which allows up to three players to join up their Tetris playfields to battle against the computer. From what I’ve heard, everybody really bloody loves Tetris Effect. I thought it was just Tetris but with fancy music and graphics, which, I mean, that’s exactly what it is, but with other cool stuff, too. We’ve deemed it one of the best VR games on PC, and it really does look like a lot of fun to muck about in with mates. Tetris Effect: Connected will launch this holiday season as a timed exclusive on the Microsoft Store for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. The update will then head to the other platforms - Epic Games, Oculus, and PlayStation - next summer. Find out more on the Tetris Effect website.
