Summary
In celebration of World Tetris Day, the team at VentureBeat hosted a chat with Henk Rogers, the man responsible for bringing the game to the world.
During the chat, Rogers discussed his belief that Tetris could become a successful esport in the future.
As a result, Red Bull Tetris has been launched as a global tournament for players aged 18 and over, with global qualifiers taking place sooner rather than later.
Following this, the 16th annual Classic Tetris World Championships will be held at the SoCal Gaming Expo in June 2025, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the game.
Additionally, Tetris was awarded Best Interactive or Digital Brand at the 2025 Licensing International Excellence Awards, celebrating a milestone year of global activations, and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is set to be released as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2.
