Good news for the Tetris 99 faithful: the free-to-play battle royale puzzler has just received a new update adding in a “Team Mode” option. Four squads of roughly 25 players will face off against each other to win a Tetris Royale! Now when you ask where you’re dropping, you can mean that literally!

The way Tetris 99 will handle team play is functionally the same as solo. Everyone will still get their own board, but combos and line clears can be coordinated among a group of players. You can now really screw someone over by getting multiple people to focus on a single target. It’s unlikely you’ll have 24 friends with you, but it’s still possible to ruin someone’s day. The joys of Tetris.

As well as the team option, this latest update also brings back some of the previous Maximus Cup themes that players may have missed. Utilizing the tickets system introduced in the “Big Block” DLC, players will need to earn 30 tickets to redeem them for themes they may have missed. These include games like Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Super Kirby Clash.

If all of that fun stuff wasn’t enough, players can finally customize their control schemes for maximum efficiency. You can also unlock some new emblems to show off your dedication to the game. It’s a lot of great quality-of-life changes that should make Tetris 99 remain engaging over the holiday break.

For a free game released out of nowhere, Nintendo has done incredibly well with Tetris 99. Some offline DLC, cool themes, and a physical release later, it’s easily one of the best games of 2019. It had become something of a running joke that battle royale would start infecting every genre ever, but Tetris has managed to make the idea seem fun and exciting by simply doing what it does best: be simple.

We’re unlikely to see any more updates for 2019, but does Tetris 99 even need anything else? The game feels positively stuffed with content and you don’t even need to buy anything! It’s one of the best reasons to sign up for Nintendo’s kind of disappointing online service.
