Digital Eclipse announced a new update for Tetris Forever is now available with the Welltris MS-DOS game as a free addition. The update also adds remappable controls to Tetris Time Warp, which is a single-player and multiplayer game featuring a “manic mix” of Tetris games from across the ages.
Tetris Forever launched on November 12 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and GOG. The collection includes Tetris for the Electronika 60 computer, the 1988 Famicom version of Tetris, Tetris 2 + Bombliss, Tetris Battle Gaiden, Hatris, Super Bombliss, Super Bombliss DX, Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss, and Super Tetris 3.
Here’s an overview of the Tetris Forever “Welltris” update, via Steam:
New Game – Welltris (Spectrum Holobyte, MS-DOS)
The first follow-up to Tetris created by Alexey Pajitnov, Welltris is a beloved variant in which Tetriminos (and other shapes) fall down four sides of a well.
Tetris Time Warp
All players can now individually remap their controls in Tetris Time Warp, the new four-player Digital Eclipse game included in Tetris Forever that has proven to be a hit with both casual and competitive players. Control remapping was the most requested feature change from players.
What’s Next?
It is our goal to continue to improve and expand on Tetris Forever with more games and features. The teams at Tetris and Digital Eclipse continue to explore adding new games to the collection, as well as addressing further feature requests and reported issues. The team’s next priority is to address an issue in some classic games which prevents users from saving or registering high scores, which we expect to issue a fix in early 2025.
We’re also working on a larger update to Tetris Time Warp, adding a variety of new features and modes based on player feedback, which we’re aiming to also release in 2025.
