Tetris Effect: Connected to Launch in Mixed Reality in 2025
Tetris Effect: Connected is set to receive a mixed reality (MR) version in 2025, launching on Meta Quest 3 and future Meta VR glasses. The new iteration will leverage MR technology for an immersive gameplay experience.
In September 2024, it was announced that the popular game Tetris Effect: Connected will be released in a new version designed for mixed reality (MR), titled "Tetris Effect: Connected: Mixed Reality". The game is scheduled for a 2025 launch on Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headsets and upcoming Meta VR glasses.
Developed by Monstars and Resonair, with Enhance as the publisher, the new version aims to redefine the Tetris Effect experience. While specific gameplay details remain undisclosed, it is expected to utilize MR capabilities to blend virtual elements with the player's physical surroundings. The goal is to create a magical and musical journey where the player's room transforms into environments like a deep-sea aquarium or a distant space station.
The game will reportedly support both controller-based and hand-based gestures for interaction. Mixed reality, which overlays virtual objects onto the real world, is a key feature of the Meta Quest 3 headset and is expected to be a significant focus for Meta's future VR eyewear.
Meta has announced its new VR glasses will debut in Spring 2027, priced at $1,299. These devices are designed to be more comfortable than traditional headsets, incorporating a sunglass-like form factor and a connected, disk-shaped computing unit.
