Tetris 99 Battle Royale Game Out Now

By Shane McGlaun

Tetris is one of the most popular games to ever hit a Nintendo device, and the gaming company has announced a new version of Tetris. The game is called Tetris 99, and it aims to take on battle royale games with a big twist.

The game gets its name from the fact that 99 players enter the match, but there is only one winner. The game is available for download now and is an exclusive for Nintendo Switch Online members.

The game is vastly different from Fortnite; there are no dances or weapons. The gameplay has you and 98 other players putting down blocks side by side. When players get two lines or more complete, the garbage blocks from the bottom of the screen are sent to the bottom of the screen of other players reports CNET.

Eventually, a player is knocked out of the game, and the play continues until one player is crowned the winner. The tweet above has a video with gameplay footage.
