The legendary Tetris The Grand Master series is making a long-awaited return, and for the first time in two decades, it’s coming to Steam. Tetris The Grand Master 4 -Absolute Eye – is set to launch this month and the official Steam page is now live for the game.
A Legacy of High-Speed Tetris Mastery
The TGM series originally came out in arcades in August 1998, quickly acquiring a loyal following with its high-speed gameplay and strict mechanics. The series continued to innovate through TGM2 (2000) and TGM3 -Terror Instinct- (2005), continually pushing the boundaries of what Tetris was capable of. Today, almost 20 years later, TGM4 is introducing its same brand of intensity, additional game modes, and modernized mechanics to the world on PC.
