What A Next-Gen Tetris Should Look Like

Today brings news that Assassin’s Creed and Rayman mega-publisher Ubisoft will be crafting a version of Tetris to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A next-gen Tetris needs some next-gen features, right?

We ask you, the Kotaku reader, to suggest the best possible cutting-edge features from modern gaming that should be added to Tetris

We don’t know what Ubisoft itself is planning. All we’ve got to go by is this:

“We welcome Ubisoft to the Tetris family. I am 100% sure they will develop one of the best versions of the Tetris game ever,” said Henk B. Rogers, managing director of The TetrisCompany, LLC.

“We’re very excited to start working with this world-renowned brand, and can’t wait to combine Ubisoft’s expertise and all the capacities of next-gen consoles to create an exciting new Tetris experience for fans,” added Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft co-founder and CEO.

Oh, and before you get too clever, please be aware that EA already introduced some modern touches to the Tetris in 2012:
