Tetris: looking at the past, and the Ultimate future

Ever since the game's initial inception in 1984 at the hands of programmer Alexei Pajitnov, Tetris has become a name in gaming folklore. It started on PC and Mac, and has since arrived on a number of consoles in various forms including the NES, Game Boy, SNES, and various others. Even today, it remains a highly popular name on current consoles, as well as mobile devices, thanks to EA's recent releases, including the timing-based Tetris Blitz. Now Tetris Ultimate is coming from Ubisoft. Rather than try to divert the formula into something new again, Ubisoft is instead working alongside The Tetris Company to recapture the classic gameplay that made it work so well in the first place, while coupling it alongside new modes and online multiplayer--similar to what EA did with its Tetris release on PlayStation Network a few years ago – to draw in a new audience on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
