Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 just got a new update, bringing all sorts of new content to the game, including the blue blur. SEGA added a Boss Raid mode, new challenges, background tracks, as well as a few new playable characters--Sonic the Hedgehog being one of them. The game's Boss Raid feature lets you team up with up to four other players in co-op in order to take down difficult AI bosses, and each of the new characters added to the roster has their own special abilities in the Skill Battle mode. You can grab the update now, which is available on PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

What's even funnier, this 1.2 GB update (on PS4 at least...) did not patch a single bug of the many that have appreared with the game, nor the ones that carry from PPT1. Also netcode still sucks ass and tetris combos are still heavily unbalanced... good thing I dont expect anything good from Sega in PPT at this point

they really need to balance tetris vs puyo IMO...

Sony and Microsoft: We have announced several AAA exclusive games

Nintendo: You can now play as Sonic in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and there will be 3 new NES games available in March.

They're two completely different games. Balancing them at all skill levels is practically impossible.

This pretty much. It was demonstrated empirically on top of it, with PPT1. Yet for some reason, they felt like unbalancing it even more in favor of power chains for Puyo (8 chain kills Tetris in PPT1 unless "charged" 4w3r, which no one does cos it can be overriden easily before you get any chance of "charging", On PPT2 Tetris can get killed with either unpowered 6 chain or powered 4 chain) pretty much forcing all Tetris players to do 4w3r to try and at least be able to counter Puyo attacks, otherwise they just have to be extremely lucky with timings and hope Puyo plays bad, which yeah, not really an option.

Sorry, what is this 4w3r you mention ?

4 Wide 3 Residue, a stacking strat that has been broken pretty much since the last edition of the Tetris Guidelines came out (in 2009...). Apparently it is too much to change a table of contents, and as such, since 2014, when the strat became widespread into games like Tetris Friends and Tetris Online Poland (Japan online-focused client that got rescued from the depths of "I am no money to pay for server", still active to this day), it's been segregating the modern Tetris community like crazy (even more than Tetris Ultimate being a disaster)

I see, thank you
(And here I was just building stuff to spam Tetris back to back)

The first game was okay.... the second is not worth buying even if you get it discounted.
