As the likes of Apex Legends and Fortnite: Battle Royale continue to take the world by storm it is clear that the battle royale formula is here to stay. It seems there is just something about squaring up against players all over the world that is attractive to us gamers.
It doesn’t all have to be guns, bombs, and explosives though. Battle royale games don’t have to be about fights to the death. Yes, it is all about the last gamer standing, but that doesn’t mean everybody else has to be dead, they could simply be eliminated. When you think about it like this, there are many more titles out there that could get the battle royale treatment.
We recently covered an unofficial Super Mario battle royale game, which pitched players against each other in a race to the end of a level from Super Mario Bros. Unfortunately, with Nintendo being Nintendo, this game has already been taken down, but we have some news of an official battle royale game, based on an old Nintendo classic, that is coming to mobile soon.

When the Nintendo Switch launched the world was blown away by how much power was packed into Nintendo’s little touchscreen device. Despite all that power though, and a plethora of impressive Switch games, one of the most fun and addictive games to hit the latest Nintendo handheld has been Tetris 99. For those that haven’t played it, it’s a manic and modern update on the classic Tetris formula.
Tetris 99 pits you against 99 other Tetris players in a battle to be the last player standing. The dynamics of the war come from sending garbage blocks to your various opponents whenever you clear multiple lines at once. You also have to deal with similar attacks coming your way from all the other players around you. The action is fast, the action is crazy, and the action is coming to your mobile.
Tetris Royale is the mobile port of Tetris 99 that is coming to both Android and iOS soon. As well as the standard 100 player mode from Tetris 99, Tetris Royale is also getting a few other game modes and features to keep mobile players satisfied. These include daily challenges, power-ups, customization options, and the chance to earn and use special boosters in battles.
Wrapping up
There is no word about pricing or when Tetris Royale will hit the Play Store and App Store. However, according to a press release from games company N3twork, who’ve teamed up with The Tetris Company to develop Tetris Royale, the game will go into beta testing this year. This means that we have a maximum of six months to wait before the crazy fun of Tetris 99 hits our mobiles in one form or another. Beware though, this one could be extremely addictive.
