After teasing fans with a potential PC release the past few days, SEGA has confirmed that they will indeed be bringing Puyo Puyo Tetris to Steam/PC. Puyo Puyo Tetris is a crossover between two beloved puzzle game series; Puyo Puyo, and Tetris. The game initially launched in Japan in 2014, and made its way to the west on consoles last year in 2017. The PC version of the game will release on February 27, 2018. Pre-ordering the title will get you special wallpapers, and a 10% discount. The game will also support mouse and keyboard input, as well as Japanese voiceovers, which were not included in the English console release.

SEGA® Europe Ltd. and The Tetris Company, LLC are pleased to announce that the fast-paced, competitive party game mash-up, Puyo Puyo™ Tetris® will launch on Steam for PC, on Tuesday, February 27, 2018.

Puyo Puyo Tetris sees two puzzle game juggernauts collide as Tetris, one of the top selling video games of all time and one of the most recognised brands in gaming history, and Puyo Puyo from SEGA combine to create a fun-to-play, fast-paced, competitive party game like no other! There are a ton of different styles of gameplay – from the single-player Adventure and Challenge modes to the ferocious competition of the up-to-four-player Arcade modes. You can even take your puzzle skills online in the Puzzle League or Free Play multiplayer modes with up to four players. Play through Adventure mode to unlock new characters and backgrounds and visit the in-game Shop which enables players to unlock new character voices and skins for Puyos and Tetriminos.

For those wanting to get in on the frantic puzzle action early, pre-order Puyo Puyo Tetris on Steam or other SEGA approved digital retailers* before 27th February and receive exclusive wallpapers and avatars featuring your favourite Puyo Puyo and Tetris characters. Pre-ordering through Steam will also net fans an additional 10% discount.

[NoNoNeko]

Woo! I was hoping they would do a PC release!

 

[SirNapkin1334]

HOLY CRAP! I WANTED THAT GAME BUT I DONT HAVE A SWITCH--IM PREORDERING!!

 

[sup3rgh0st]

Great! I had a lot of fun playing even just the demo of Puyo Puyo on the Switch.

 

[smileyhead]

I love this game's cutscenes.

"Things come easy when you wield a sword like this one!"
"I'll help you wrestle that book cover to cover! ...and under the covers, too!"
"The time has come for me to clear my reputation... By assaulting this young girl!"
"Insert whatever you like."
"I can't believe you actually came!" "I told you I'll come for you!"

I suppose it would be nice to have a steam group for people to play with each other here, it be fun for everyone who wants to try. Surprised i see no one streaming this game on twitch. I have it on switch and I mostly watch replays on it which is just as fun. (Can't believe I'm gonna have to spend $20 soon to be watching replays online.)

I hope you know that your reply won't have any effect on the person you replied to flaming whatever the topic of the next news is.

Regardless, I don't like Puyo Puyo Tetris being released on Steam... that late. I wouldn't mind buying it if I didn't already have it on the Switch.
That said, I really hate the practice of keeping out PCs that long when it comes to porting games that have been out for years (which in case of PPT might still be true considering the Japanese versions, but that's very subjective here).

I don't know unless I try.

I mean you can always buy it cause is new people to play with, that usually why people buy it on everything, different people play on different systems, if you have them all then you have access to more people to play with (unless you don't care to play online mode that is.) Besides, sega likely has no excuse for how long it taken to localize it, that is been on multiple consoles including ps3, wii u and 3DS in japan and even vita and xbox one, and now just getting international releases. We could have had the game a lot sooner but just didn't for some reason.

I wonder who really owns the copyright of Tetris these days.

 

[Eddypikachu]

This is so great, I have a lot of friends who really wanted puyo tetris to come out on the PC, and now its here! I love puyo puyo so much, after the release of puyo tetris on the switch I went and bought many of the older puyo games and I'd love for Sega to start localizing the newer puyo games for the west like Puyo chronicles (hopefully a switch port of chronicles maybe??)

 

[RedoLane]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
>contains Denuvo
WHAT THE HELL, SEGA!?

The Tetris Company, but they negotiated with SEGA for the release of this game.

CPY will free us

 

[KevinLSX]

Yay now I can pirate it.

 

[Kioku]

... And of course I already bought it on the Switch... :|

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

The tetris company, is on the box.

Wonder how many people gonna get it now? I noticed it had Dunevo on it just like sonic mania, and is $20 just like sonic mania. Wonder if sega gonna get more hate for this.

 

[CeeDee]

I wonder if English assets ripped from this would help translation of the 3DS/Wii U versions? Seeing as Switch and PS4 don't really have much in terms of content dumping, AFAIK...

 

[PrincessLillie]

How interesting... I own a Switch but never really got the chance to pick this up. Maybe now that it's on the way to PC I will!

 

[Subtle Demise]

That's some pretty funny shit. I only ever played it in Japanese on the PS3, same with Puyo Puyo 20th anniversary on the DS.

 

[LightyKD]

... And of course I already bought it on the Switch... :|

Same here! Guess I could always "download" a PC copy so that I can practice for online Switch battles during moments where the Mrs is hogging the switch version lol.
