Xbox One: Tetris Ultimate on Dec. 17th

Tetris Ultimate is almost ready to make its debut on Xbox One. In fact, you only have to wait one more week.  The Xbox One version will follow on December 17. Take on 6 exciting modes with up to three other people. Get the full rundown on all the modes included in Tetris Ultimate.

Here is the list of Tetris Ultimate modes in the game:

• Marathon – Complete level 15 and rack up as many points as you can.
• Endless – Keep clearing lines until your stamina runs out.
• Ultra – Race to score as many points possible before time runs out in this three-minute challenge.
• Sprint – Clear 40 lines as quickly as you can.
• Battle – Go head-to-head to knock out your challengers.
• Battle Ultimate – Be the last person playing after using crazy power-ups! Go on the offensive with Carousel and make your opponent’s Matrix shift to the left after each move, or trigger Let It Rain and dump blocks down on top of them. Buzz Saw helps you advance by clearing away a number of your lines, especially useful when you’re in a spot of trouble.

Mike Splechta:

"The last time I was excited for a Tetris game was around 2011, when Facebook added a competitive Tetris game called Tetris Battle. It wasn't long until I realized that there were players much, much more skilled than I was, and my win/loss ratio was about 1/50."
