Whilst the tennis world has gone into hysteria in the last few weeks, we’re here to bring you some news which might put a smile back on your face. Kalypso Media and Torus Games have officially announced that Matchpoint- Tennis Championships will be coming to PC and console soon. How exciting!
Matchpoint – Tennis Championships is an all-new title that will look to deliver ‘authentic gameplay and an immersive tennis experience to the masses’. Spring 2022 is when we’ll be able to experience all the tennis fun we could desire. The game will be released on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC through Windows.
Obviously, the game will do well to compete with the likes of Tennis World Tour and AO Tennis, but why shouldn’t it be optimistic? In my opinion, this competitiveness in the tennis gaming landscape is exactly what the likes of FIFA needs to make EA improve upon their titles. However, that’s a topic for another day. Check out the announcement trailer for the game down below:
What’d you all think of that then? Whilst the trailer is relatively short, we reckon it’s going to be an absolute blast! Get ready to use the right tactics, intelligent player positioning and authentic ball physics which will have any tennis enthusiast excited!
Additionally, the game will offer enhanced character animations with full player control. This’ll make you truly feel like you’re about of the big action, recreating it in the closest way you can possibly get. As such, we’ve decided to compel a list of all the other great game play features you can expect to find in the game.
