Maura · Dec 2, 2011

EA Mobile has today launched a re-imagined version of one the most popular games of all time, Tetris. The new version gives fans access to new features that give them revolutionary ways to play on their iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Along with classic fan favourites such as Marathon Mode, several new modes have been added, including Galaxy Mode, where players get to use game-changing power ups to dig down and shatter their scores, the Origin-powered Tetris Log, which delivers new gameplay challenges, and a Tetris Rank facility, which tracks players lifetime lines cleared and assigns an overall rank. The app also now comes complete with the opportunity to subscribe to the T-Club, the only Tetris fan club to give members exclusive access to new mobile challenges and content.

The Tetris App for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch was specifically designed to let players experience a re-imagined Tetris universe including the traditional Tetris gameplay they know and love," said Bernard Kim, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for EA Interactive. "The innovative new features are sure to bring hours of frenzied fun for both newcomers and seasoned Tetris fans.

The One Touch feature in this new Tetris game is ground-breaking and its the type of inventiveness we have been waiting for. Its the difference between driving a stick shift and an automatic, said Henk Rogers, Managing Director of The Tetris Company. We are always looking for new ways for our fans to play Tetris and this new mobile version makes a revolutionary addition to the Tetris family of games.
