PUYO PUYO ESPORTS

Developer Sonic Team Publisher Sega Format PS4, Switch Origin Japan Release October 25 (Japan), TBA (worldwide)

Apparently buoyed by the success of Puyo PuyoTetris, Sega’s blob-matching puzzler is getting a budget-priced new entry, retuned to capitalise on its surprising popularity as a competitive game; indeed, it’s already been officially recognised by Japan’s Esports Union. Don’t weep for the loss of tetrominoes – after all, Mizuguchi’s got big plans for them.
