A November release date has been set for Tetris Forever, and a final key art has also been revealed.
Acclaimed retro gaming studio Digital Eclipse, in collaboration with The Tetris Company, is pleased to announce November 12th as the release date for Tetris Forever, the latest entry in the studio’s Gold Master Series.
Over the past 40 years, puzzle gaming has become a cultural phenomenon, spawning numerous games, feature films, fan groups, and esports tournaments.
Tetris Forever is a love letter to the global, cross-generational fan base that spans the spectrum from casual to competitive gamers. Coming to PC and console, it presents the story of Tetris across five interactive timelines that combine playable games, video featurettes and digital artifacts.
Experience the evolution of the genre-typical puzzle game from a small project by a single programmer behind the Iron Curtain to an international game series with enduring popularity.
Digital Eclipse also reveals the key art (see article image above) for Tetris Forever, created by multidisciplinary artist and musician Willea Zwey. Her striking image embodies the essence of the games and story of Tetris Forever.
Zwey’s ability to create otherworldly scenes with surreal elements and profound stories made her the ideal candidate to design the title’s main artwork.
“Tetris was one of the first video games I played as a child. It combined logic and fun in a way that really stuck with me,” said Zwey. “When I was approached for this project, it felt like a perfect fit, especially with my background in architecture. I wanted to reimagine the game by creating a surreal architectural space that celebrates the endless possibilities of Tetriminos.”
“The design feels like a gallery space, with the Tetriminos as the central exhibits, and I wanted to incorporate movement to emphasize their dynamic nature,” Zwey continues. “The multi-dimensional perspective pushes traditional boundaries, while the nighttime scene with glowing Tetriminos gives the game a fresh, vibrant touch. The addition of small characters highlights both the scale and spontaneity of the game’s limitless potential.”
