Ubisoft making Tetris for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

Ubisoft has announced that a new version of Tetris will be heading to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The license for the classic puzzle game was acquired by the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry developer, and Ubisoft is hoping to create a whole new experience for players.

"We're very excited to start working with this world-renowned brand," said Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot.

"[We] 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."

There's no word on a release date, however Ubisoft noted Tetris' 30th anniversary in June which could be a clue.
