Like the previous game, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 revolves around the two different gameplay styles of the Puyo Puyo and Tetris series respectively. Players can choose between Puyo style, which involves arranging colored blobs and matching them together to set off combo chains, and Tetris style, which involves placing shaped blocks to create lines and removing them from the grid. Players compete against each other with the style of their choosing, with the aim of sending garbage to their opponents, causing their play field to overflow and eliminating them. The game features all the modes featured in the original Puyo Puyo Tetris, including the Swap and Fusion modes which feature both styles.

In addition to a new story and characters, the game introduces new modes, such as Skill battles which allow for character based skills and items to quickly change the game. It was also stated to have an improved online mode from the first game, allowing for more competition in leagues and free play, as well as new modes.[4] In Adventure mode, the player will traverse an overworld and engage in Skill Battles with other characters in the story, that acts more like a JRPG.[5]

Development and release

On August 26, 2020 during a Nintendo Direct Mini presentation, the game was showcased and was slated for December 2020 for Nintendo Switch.[6][7] Later that day, it was discovered that the game would be released on December 8, 2020 alongside Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 4 versions with the Japanese version releasing two days later.[8][9] A PlayStation 5 version was also announced and would release during 'Holiday 2020', later revealed to be the same day as the other versions.[10][11] A Microsoft Windows version on Steam was said to be released on March 23, 2021.[12][13] An update in January 2021 added four additional playable charcters including Sonic the Hedgehog from the series of the same name.[14] In a second update, released in February 2021, four new characters were added from Puyo Puyo 2, the Puyo Pop Fever games, and Puyo Puyo Chronicle. Accessibility options for color blind players were added, alongside three new songs and multiplayer support for certain modes previously only playable in single-player.[15] New challenge rules were also added.[16] In March 2021, the final update was released, adding four characters from the Puyo Puyo series, the ability for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players to participate in online play together, four additional songs, a spectator mode, allowing players to watch online matches, and a harder "Super Spicy" difficulty setting,[17] in addition to also adding twenty new user avatar pictures.[18]
