Tetris 99 is set to take another quantum leap forward tomorrow, as Nintendo has announced a slew of updates for the popular multiplayer puzzler.
First, the consolemaker will unleash Tetris 99’s free Version 2.0 update, which features a brand new Invictus Mode that’s only available to players who have previously won an online match against the 99-player field. New Daily Missions will also be available, and completing these challenges will let players earn Tickets to unlock new Themes and Player Icons.
Nintendo will also release the second half of Tetris 99’s Big Block DLC tomorrow, which will add two new modes to the game. The paid expansion will include 2P Share Battle Mode, which allows two players to compete in Tetris 99’s battle royale mode on the same screen against CPU-controlled opponents, and Local Arena Mode, which gives up to eight players a way to battle via local wireless multiplayer.
If you’re interested in trying out Tetris 99, but you’re not yet a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber, Nintendo will also release a physical version of the game this Friday, September 6. The package will be priced at $29.99 and come bundled with a 12-Month Subscription to Nintendo Switch Online and all the new content from both Big Block DLC expansions.
