Minecraft and Tetris combine for some very blocky dungeon crawling

Two of the bestselling games of all time are joining forces for some very strange downloadable content in Minecraft. It involves visiting the “Tetris universe” inside of the game… which has taught me that there is something called the Tetris universe. Notably, the new Minecraft DLC is a form of dungeon crawler that also involves playing Tetris to find lost Tetriminos, those falling blocks that come in an assortment of iconic shapes. (This also isn’t the first time the two games have crossed over, though the previous collab wasn’t quite so weird.)
I’m not sure I fully understand it, so here’s the synopsis from Mojang Studios:
It’s your job to find the Tetriminos and bring them back. So how do you do that? The grid of blocks remaining after your round of 2D Tetris transforms into a 3D dungeon layout hiding not only the missing Tetriminos, but plenty of surprises – some more welcome than others! Each time you play, you face a unique dungeon.
The Tetriminos you use, the paths you make, and even how many lines you clear result in new traps, loot, and surprises around every corner. Solve puzzles, scavenge for rewards, and fight monsters as you make your way to the top. There await new Tetriminos that will fill the next dungeon you generate with even more secrets.
With the DLC, you can also just straight-up play regular Tetris in Minecraft’s lobby, adding to the many, many ways to experience the classic block-falling puzzle game. The Minecraft x Tetris DLC is available now.
