Fire Emblem Joins Tetris 99 For A Crossover Event
Nintendo's battle royale is hosting a special in-game event to mark the Switch 2 exclusive's arrival, with the 57th cup now live.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave recently launched exclusively on the Switch 2, and Nintendo is marking the occasion inside another of its own games. The battle royale Tetris 99 is hosting a special in-game event themed around the strategy role-playing title, giving players a limited-time reason to drop back into the block-stacking competition. The tie-in follows the pattern of earlier Nintendo crossovers, which have repeatedly used the 99-player format to spotlight new first-party releases shortly after they arrive on the company's hardware. Cross-promotions of this kind have become a regular part of how Nintendo keeps its online titles active between larger releases.
The celebration has been billed as the 57th cup, carrying the usual reward structure that encourages repeated matches to earn themed items. Tetris 99 has partnered with many of Nintendo's biggest series since its launch, turning each new release into a short tournament window for its players. Details on the exact rewards and the event's end date are available within the game itself, and Nintendo Life notes that the crossover is already live for anyone who wants to take part before it closes.
