Ubisoft are working on a nextgen Tetris game
Will Tetris ever become as huge as it once was?
It seems like it´s time for the Tetris franchise have it´s big come back (again?). At least that´s what Ubisoft hopes for. Cuz at this very moment, Ubisoft are working on a nextgen version of the old puzzle game that we all love.
Yes, i'm of course referring to "Tetris". So, what will this "nextgen version" of Tetris offer us (the players) then? Besides advanced HD graphics , and a fat soundtrack (hopefully). Im quite sure that the game will take advantage of Xbox One´s Kinect, and Sonys PlayStation Camera.
Which means that we will be able to become one with our Tetris gameplay sections. But all this are just wishful thinking at the moment. So i guess that we just have to wait and see what Ubisoft got in store for us.
