December 2, 2011
Electronic Arts has released a brand new version of its TETRIS for iPhone app ($0.99).
The new application has completely replaced the old TETRIS iPhone app, which EA appears to have pulled from the App Store. Because of this, customers who purchased the old TETRIS app cannot access this all-new version through a free update - instead, because TETRIS has been relaunched, it must be repurchased.
As outlined in a press release published by EA, features of the new application include:
