While there’ve been some great strides for Puyo Puyo’s recognition in the west over the last few years, it can’t hold a candle to its popularity in Japan. Mobile games, arcade games, televised tournaments and more speak volumes of the puzzle icons but there’s always room for a little more love. Sega must think so too, as it’s been announced a “Puyo Day” livestream will be held on February 4th promising 24 pieces of new information.
2月4日は #ぷよの日 ！
2月4日20時より「ぷよの日2020生放送」配信決定
園崎未恵さんをはじめ豪華ゲストをお迎えし、ぷよにちなんだ「24」個の新情報を発表します。
ぜひご覧ください✨YouTube Live: https://t.co/3vIHvVkfk1

Why 24? Well, in Japanese you can read that that as “pu-yo”. Mixed with the date (2-4) you’ve got Puyo Puyo! While there’s no way to know if the information could be of any international significance, such as a new Puyo game, if you’re a fan of the series it could be worth the watch.
