Tetris, the best game of all time, is getting new life thanks to Tetris Forever, a new collection from Digital Eclipse and Atari that bundles multiple flavors of the classic game in one place. And it finally has a release date.

Tetris Forever will release on November 12 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and GOG. It’ll be complete with 15 games from across the franchise’s 40th anniversary. Pricing hasn’t been revealed yet, but you can wishlist it on PC right now.

A video released last week showcased the 15 games that’ll be included in the collection. It’ll feature the original that came out for the Electronika 60 computer, along with the multiplayer Tetris Battle Gaiden; the bomb-centric Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss; Hatris, which is like Tetris but with hat stacking; and a bunch others. There’s also a new Tetris, called Tetris Time Warp, where four players will warp between different eras as they play. You can check out the collection in the video below.

Developer Digital Eclipse is a well-known remaster studio, but Tetris Forever isn’t just a game port bundle. It’s also an interactive museum, with 90 minutes of documentary video, virtual archived materials, ads, and other artifacts. It’s done this previously with 2022’s Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration and 2023’s The Making of Karateka. It was acquired by Atari late last year for $20 million. The company also worked on a new game: Volgarr the Viking 2, a sequel to the 2013 2D retro throwback that challenged players everywhere.

This delightful new adventure game feels like a long-lost PS1 classic
A slime stands in the forest in Slime Heroes.

I always appreciate a video game that feels like a long-lost classic from another time. I’m not talking about games that deliberately chase a retro aesthetic for nostalgia. Rather, I appreciate ones that feel naturally shaped by history, where childhood influences show. That’s the kind of game Slime Heroes is, a good-natured adventure starring colorful cartoon mascots. If you told me it was a remake of a forgotten PS1 game, I might believe you were it not for some of its modern giveaways.

A debut project for indie studio Pancake Games, Slime Heroes is an open-world adventure game about an adorable slime ball on a quest to save its home from corrupted monsters. Its cheery visuals, whimsical music, and clumsy UI make it feel exactly like a game from the era of mascot-driven platformers. Don’t let that bright surface fool you, though: Slime Heroes is a surprisingly tough game powered by some deceptively deep combat hooks.
