TETRIS® THE GRAND MASTER 4 -ABSOLUTE EYE- News

We were preparing to release Ver. 1.8.0, but since last week our development staff has been resting due to illness, and today a medical institution has instructed that they need to remain off duty for the rest of this week. Furthermore, next week in Japan is the “Obon holiday,” during which our debug team will also be absent. Therefore, it looks likely that the release of Ver. 1.8.0 will slip to mid-August or later.

We had planned to release today, but we judged that proceeding with a major update without the responsible staff present would be very risky, so we reluctantly decided to postpone the release.

Since Ver. 1.7.0, we have taken various comments into account, but every applicable version has been operated under licensor direction. Please wait a little longer for the release of Ver. 1.8.0. Ver. 1.8.0 includes specification changes that were negotiated immediately after release under the release conditions of Ver. 1.7.0, so we are proceeding very carefully. We appreciate your patience until a firm release date is set.

We are currently developing Ver.1.8.0.
As announced with Ver.1.7.0, this will be the second half of the major TGMstyle adjustments.

The primary focus is on adding new features to NORMAL mode, along with corresponding changes to onscreen information.

Request:
For Ver.1.8.0, we will not list any change details beyond bug fixes, so please use your discretion.
