Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 Introduces Skill Battle & Online Modes

SEGA revealed much more about Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 this morning, including the new look, new modes, and the Skill Battle. The sequel to the mash-up puzzler title is already up for pre-order on PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, as the game is set to drop on December 8th, 2020. But before that happens, the company is showing off a lot more of what you can do as they revealed details to a lot of the content you'll get in the game. You can read about the in-game modes as well as online battle mode below, along with trailers to show off everything you can do!

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2: Show Off Your Skills!

Each character starts out with a single specialty and learns more powerful skills as you play with them. Selecting characters with complementary skills becomes a key strategy for winning a Skill Battle match. As you play, you'll pop Puyos and clear Lines, sending Garbage Puyos and Blocks to the other player's board. When the Garbage falls, your opponent loses HP. If their HP hits 0, you win!!

New Features for Skill Battle

• Character Skills: Leverage powerful character skills to change the landscape of any Skill Battle match, from recovering HP to changing the color of Puyos to erasing Lines, and more.
• Level Up: Increase your character's HP, MP, Attack, Defense, and Recovery by playing through the game's Adventure mode.
• Item Cards: Power up your team with Item Cards to improve your character stats, with exclusive offerings tied to the game's Launch Edition.
