"Tetris Reversed: The Unearthed Sequel After a Decade of Obscurity"

A lost sequel to Tetris, called Tetris Reversed, has been revealed for the first time. The game, conceptualized by Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov and developed by Croatian developer Vedran Klanac, focuses on using all available space in the play field rather than just dropping pieces to clear lines. Although the project initially ran out of steam in 2012, it has been revived, and Pajitnov is hopeful that the game will generate significant interest as a new prototype that offers a unique twist on the classic Tetris gameplay.
