News has broken that THQ has acquired the rights to publish a version of Tetris for Xbox 360 outside Japan following the settling of differences between the publisher and The Tetris Company.
THQ had previously entered into a legal dispute with The Tetris Company, claiming that it had breached a contract with the publisher which resulted in the axe falling on THQ's planned release of a Tetris game for Nintendo DS. THQ's scoring of rights to deliver an Xbox 360 Tetris title comes as part of the settlement between the two companies.
