Tetris Effect: Connected Finally Gets A Switch Release Date
There have been a lot of Tetris games released throughout the years, but one of the best is also one of the most recent: Tetris Effect. Tetris Effect is a trippy, colorful spin on the standard Tetris formula first that first launched on PlayStation 4 in 2018. In 2019, we saw the game re-released with a new multiplayer component as an Xbox One exclusive under the title of Tetris Effect: Connected. Today, we learned that Tetris Effect: Connected is finally making its way to other platforms, starting with the Switch in October.Tetris Effect: Connected was announced for Nintendo Switch during today's Indie World Showcase.
