Announced during the Xbox Games Showcase, the title which is already available on PlayStation 4, PC, and VR sets will include a new co-op and competitive mode called Tetris Effect Connected.

"Connect and play with or against each other in all-new modes like 'Zone Battle,' which shakes up traditional 1-on-1 Tetris gameplay via the time-stopping Zone mechanic, or try the innovative co-op of 'Connected' mode, where up to three players can literally connect their Tetris playfields together and play as one, as they work together to take down a series of increasingly-challenging CPU-controlled bosses," developers Monstars and Sonairs wrote on their official blog.
