The combination of Puyo Puyo and Tetris seems like a match made in heaven. They both are colorful puzzle games that feature blocks dropping from the top of the screen, so their fusion seemed inevitable. In today’s Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 was announced for the Nintendo Switch.
If you live anywhere outside of Japan, you might have missed the first Puyo Puyo Tetris as it released on the Switch and Playstation 4 in 2017, three years after its initial Japanese release. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, however, is launching on the Switch, Xbox One, and PS4 on December 8 this year with plans for a next-gen release in the works according to their press release.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is set to feature its classic versus mode where players play Puyo Puyo against Tetris, a party mode that has “special items and challenges,” as well as an adventure mode where players will experience a brand new story with a “vibrant cast.”
SEGA says in their press release:
“Perfectly blending the complementary gameplay of Puyo Puyo, one of Japan’s most enduring and popular game brands, and Tetris®, one of the most well-known video game franchises in the world, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 provides a unique crossover experience with addictive puzzle challenges, loads of content, and overflowing charm for players of all ages. Expanding on the addictive gameplay of its predecessor, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is packed with fun, new modes where players can precisely pop Puyos and tactically rotate and clear Tetriminos solo or with friends, offline and online!”
