Tetris® Effect: Connected News

Enhance proudly announces that registrations for the 2022 Tetris® Effect: Connected World Championship (TECWC) events are now open. For the tournament’s second year, we’re mixing up the action with two events designed to appeal to the competitive and casual Tetris communities and all skill levels: the Tri-Effect-A and Connected 2022.

[h3]TRI-EFFECT-A[/h3]

Things kick off with the Tri-Effect-A, a tournament that will test players' skills in three of Tetris Effect: Connected’s multiplayer modes: Zone Battle, Classic Score Attack, and Score Attack. High placement in a game mode bracket qualifies the player for the multi-mode main event to crown the true all-around Tetris Effect: Connected World Champion! Each game mode will have a separate bracket divided into tiers based on skill level. Participants of the Tri-Effect-A event will compete for over $2,000 in prizes and giveaways!

Sign-ups are available now at www.tetriseffect.game/tournaments, which also contains additional information on match formats, rules, prizing info, and more.

The tournament will be run via the Enhance Discord (https://discord.gg/enhance), where players can find their matches, watch streams and speak to tournament staff. Matches will be broadcast in English on the CTWC Twitch channel (https://twitch.tv/ClassicTetris), alongside a Japanese broadcast on the Enhance Experience Twitch channel (https://twitch.tv/EnhanceExperience).

Greetings Tetris® Effect: Connected players! We have released a new patch that updates the game to version 1.3.1. The most noticeable changes in today’s patch are new Color Assist options designed to help players easily identify MagicMinos among other Tetrimino types, and a change to the default number of Tetriminos displayed in the Next Queue. Please see below for more information on that and the updates made to the Oculus Quest version!

Added options for players with color vision deficiencies – COLOR ASSIST TYPE A, B and C. These can be found in OPTIONS > GAMEPLAY > TETRIMINO COLORS. These new options add patterns to the MagicMinos in CONNECTED/CONNECTED VS, and to TRADITIONAL Tetriminos to make them easier to identify.

Changed the default NEXT QUEUE display to 4 instead of 1.


The word TAP is now displayed when reviving in CONNECTED and CONNECTED VS if you fail to TAP 3 times consecutively.

Fixed an issue in ZONE BATTLE where, in rare cases, Tetriminos would not appear and the game would not progress during the second match when a player had a poor network connection.

Changed the default cursor position in CONNECTED to your highest-cleared Area.

Changed the default cursor position in CONNECTED VS lobbies to BOSS instead of READY.

Other minor adjustments and bug fixes.

NOTE: V1.3.1 PLAYERS WILL ONLY MATCHMAKE WITH PLAYERS ON V1.3.1 OR LATER.
