This is a bit wild. 26 years later, we’re still seeing Tetris adaptations on home consoles. The age-old block-piling classic is hitting PSN later this December courtesy of EA and developer Blue Planet Software.

EA touts it as the ‘definitive’ version of Tetris, boasting crystal-clear 1080p visuals, 5.1 surround sound, and cross-region leaderboards. Additionally, players can duke it out online or locally with up to six friends in all-new game modes, each with a twist on the original concept. View the exhaustive list after the break.

* “Shared” mode enables two players to team-up in a single matrix to combine efforts and clear lines together
* “Team Battle” is the ultimate competitive match-up that allows two teams of two to play against one another, alternating between offense and defense as they compete for the win.
* “Battle” mode has been enhanced with new Power-Ups for more fast-paced fun.
* Now multiplayer games let up to four players locally play “Marathon” mode at the same time.
* “Challenge” mode, which allows players playing “Marathon” mode or any of the 12 variants to try to beat “replays” of either friends or some of the best Tetris players in the world

While there’s no word on price yet, expect it to fall between $10-15.
