Almost all of the Tetris games in Tetris Forever were originally published by Bullet-Proof Software. Other versions from other publishers are absent, including the iconic 1989 Game Boy game published by Nintendo. This version of the game is available through the Nintendo Switch Online service.
Tetris Forever was revealed earlier this year during the August 2024 Nintendo Partner Direct. It’s part of Digital Eclipse’s Gold Master Series, which are game collections that set out to preserve the history of the games they’re representing. As such, the collection also includes documentary footage and archival materials representing the history of Tetris. Previous Digital Eclipse collections in this style have included The Making of Karateka, Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story and Atari 50.
Tetris Forever will release sometime in 2024 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
