Mizuki: You are able to play just Tetris or just Puyo Puyo. Is it possible to just play Tetris or just Puyo, or does Adventure mode help ease players into each of the mode’s strengths? TSA: Newcomers to the game might just stick to what they know. It looks like the date is earlier in the West than in Japan, but when you take into account the time difference, it’s pretty close to being simultaneous. When we held an event overseas, we received requests from fans to release Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 at the same time across the world instead of in Japan first, so we decided to release it almost simultaneously.

The characters and storyline of the Puyo Puyo series have been very well received, so when we announced Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, we were met with quite a bit of positive feedback. Mizuki: The response to Puyo Puyo Tetris has exceeded our expectations and we’ve received many requests for the Puyo Puyo series to be released in the West. TSA: How well has the Puyo Puyo series done internationally since Puyo Puyo Tetris? Was that a factor into why Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is getting a simultaneous worldwide release – and even a couple days before Japan? Since the Puyo Puyo series and Puyo Puyo Tetris have been slowly selling titles after their release, this was the optimal timing to release the sequel for Puyo Puyo Tetris. For the Puyo Puyo series, we released Puyo Puyo Chronicles in 2016 in Japan only and Puyo Puyo eSports in 2018 [released internationally as Puyo Puyo Champions in 2019). Since it’s been quite some time since then, with many new features made possible on next gen consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, we decided it was time to create an all-new Puyo Puyo Tetris experience for both our core and new fans across platforms, including next-gen. Mizuki: The previous iteration of the game was sold in Japan in 2014 and in the West in 2017.
