Developed by Arika and published by Nintendo, Tetris 99 launched on February 13, 2019, as a Nintendo Switch Online exclusive and has since run recurring Maximus Cup events that let players unlock cosmetic themes and music by earning event points.
Nintendo has announced that the 57th Maximus Cup will run from October 2 to October 5 and will feature the Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave theme.
As is standard for Maximus Cups, players must accumulate 100 points during the event window to earn the theme.
The reward package includes themed artwork, new music, and custom Tetrimino designs inspired by the Fire Emblem tie-in.
