About Puyo Puyo

Since its launch over 30 years ago, the Puyo Puyo series has become a beloved household name in the action puzzle genre. The original game first appeared in 1991 for MSX2 and Famicom Disk System, followed by arcade and Mega Drive versions in 1992. Its straightforward yet engaging gameplay, adorable characters, and the introduction of competitive play set it apart, resulting in an explosive popularity that continues to this day.

Puyo Puyo has evolved into a staple of the action puzzle genre, expanding to various gaming platforms, mobile devices, and more. In March 2018, it achieved recognition as a licensed title by JeSU (Japan eSports Union), leading to the emergence of professional players and a robust eSports scene.
