Nintendo’s blockbusting battle royale effort Tetris 99 is preparing to launch another limited-time event in the spirit of cross-promotional marketing camaraderie, this time with a nod to Switch’s upcoming Pokémon Sword and Shield.
As with previous limited-time crossovers, which have included the likes of Fire Emblem and Luigi’s Mansion 3, Nintendo’s Pokemon offering will temporarily re-theme the Tetris 99 battle royale experience, adding new match music and switching out the usual background for a serene shot of Sword and Shield’s Galar region.
Additionally, fellow combatants will be represented as Pokemon, captured within a Pokéball in defeat – all of which you can see in the event reveal video below.
