And everything is going to the beat
If there is one game people shouldn’t have any trouble getting their hands on these days, it’sTetris. There are so many great versions of the game out there already, from the nail-bitingTetris 99on Switch to the brilliantTetris Effecton PS4, Xbox, PC, and Quest. Mobile platforms have seen a variety of differentTetrisgames over the years, and soon enough, another one will be joining the fray withTetris Beat, coming exclusively to Apple Arcade.
As you may see from the trailer above,Tetris Beatplaces a heavy emphasis on its soundtrack, which features original 18 original tracks from musicians like GARZA, Cinthie, and the brilliantly named Alison Wonderland. Those 18 tracks are just the beginning asTetris Beatwill add new songs to the game every month. The game will feature three game modes, controller support, and cross-platform play with Apple TV, Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Developer N3twork is working onTetris Beat. It’s the same studio responsible for the officially licensed mobile version of the classic block-drop puzzler.
It’s nice to see another original game coming to the platform (and yes, I know it’s a stretch to consider any version ofTetristo be original), considering Apple Arcade has been pretty reliant on ports as of late to fill out its catalog. Recent additions to the service includeAlto’s Odyssey: The Lost City,Angry Birds Reloaded, andGame Dev Story+, all of which were previously released on other platforms. More ports are on their way to the service, includingJetpack Joyride+,Super Stickman Golf 3+, andMonster Hunter Stories+.
