Minecraft's latest update is a crossover DLC with the classic puzzle game Tetris that innovates how players tackle the colored blocks.
Mojang Studios is introducing Tetris in a surprisingly new way and instead of simply playing the puzzle game's block mechanics, you will be able to explore dungeons and fight using these same pieces.
Minecraft's Tetris DLC
In the Minecraft store, it was revealed that the Tetris DLC will be a combination of 2D and 3D visuals where players will have to journey through the so-called "matrix dungeons."
They will also have to battle colorful Tetrimonsters and unearth pixelated secrets hidden across the area.
Furthermore, the DLC will feature four other game modes for Minecraft players to choose from and can be tackled either solo or with a group of friends. The recent trailer showed that one of the game modes is the standard Tetris game, according to GameSpot.
However, this particular game mode brings a twist to the classic as instead of placing blocks, players are trapped in the area and will have to mine their way through to the top before they get stuck for good.
When it comes to the new dungeon crawling mode, it seems like players will eventually be forced to battle against a new mob that is made up entirely of Tetris blocks. The Tetris DLC is now available and costs 1,510 Minecraft Coins, which is roughly equivalent to $9.99.
In the official description of the Tetris DLC, Minecraft developer Mojang Studios said that it will be the players' objective to find the Teriminos and bring them back. These are the falling blocks that come in various colors and shapes, said The Verge.
Battle Against Tetrimonsters
Whenever players use Tetriminos, make paths, or clear lines, they will all result in new traps, loot, and surprises in every corner. You will have to solve various puzzles, scavenge for rewards, and battle monsters on your way to the top.
You will also be able to create brand-new tools and items that were inspired by the beloved classic puzzle game. On top of being able to tame Tetrimonsters, the new update also lets players craft other mounts using Tetriminos.
Mojang Studios said that the Tetrimino mounts are able to both jump impressively high and set sail at amazing speeds.
The new tools that can be found possess unique abilities inspired by, such as the Line Clear hammer, which can be used to clear a whole line of iron blocks, according to ComicBook.
