News Tennis World Tour 2 Takes a Second Serve to PS5 in March 2021
Next-gen tens
Tennis World Tour 2 will serve up some next-gen tennis on the PlayStation 5 in March 2021, publisher Nacon has announced. The re-released sports sim – already available on the PlayStation 4 – will include the base game, additional content, and gameplay improvements. There’s no word on what the latter will entail, unfortunately...
News Tennis World Tour 2 Adds Roland-Garros, But Only As Part of Annual Pass
Although the core game is available cheaper
Y’know, we understand what publisher Nacon’s trying to do here, but it’s probably not the best idea considering the shaky standing the series already finds itself. So let’s break it down for you: Tennis World Tour 2 costs $39.99/£44.99 depending on what region you purchase it from. Now ignoring...
First Impressions How Tennis World Tour 2 Is Avoiding a Double Fault on PS4
Anyone for tennis?
There’s an elephant in the room as Nacon tells us about Tennis World Tour 2, and it’s not outspoken Australian hotshot Nick Kyrgios. The French publisher – formerly known as BigBen Interactive – knows Tennis World Tour was bad, and while it remains polite and professional throughout, it clearly wants us to understand that...
News Tennis World Tour 2 Ditches Original Developer, Adds Doubles
Fault! Second serve
After the disappointing Tennis World Tour, publisher Nacon has scrapped original developer Breakpoint and tapped up AO Tennis 2 studio Big Ant to build the sequel. Due out in September – just nine months after the aforementioned Australian Open tie-in – it appears to be built upon the same Top Spin-inspired blueprints as its...
News Tennis World Tour 2 Attempts to Avoid a Double Fault
Due out in September
Tennis World Tour’s shortcomings have been well documented since its original release in 2018, but Nacon is going to serve up a second helping of bat-and-ball action this coming September on the PlayStation 4. It follows the release of the likeable AO Tennis 2 earlier this year, which interestingly was also published by Nacon...
Random Andy Murray Wins Tennis World Tour Tournament, Donates Money to NHS
After a thrilling tie-break
There were no hip issues for Andy Murray this week, as he traded his traditional racket for a DualShock 4 controller and conquered the clay. The legendary Scot overcame fellow pro David Goffin to win the virtual Madrid Open in flawed PlayStation 4 title Tennis World Tour, stealing the victory in a tense tie-break...
News Spanish Superstar Rafa Nadal Joins Tennis World Tour
Vamos
Breakpoint is having another shot at Tennis World Tour this month, repackaging last year's release with all of the title's patches for the more finished Tennis World Tour: Roland-Garros Edition. Among the new features included in this re-release is the addition of Spanish superstar Rafa Nadal -- and perhaps less excitingly, French top 50...
News The Terrible Tennis World Tour Repackaged for Roland-Garros
You cannot be serious?
Remember when Tennis World Tour launched last year on the PlayStation 4 in a state worse than Andy Murray’s hip? Well, it seems that developer Breakpoint Games has more nerve than Nick Kyrgios when he’s insulting opponents’ girlfriends, as it’s repackaging the entire game for Roland-Garros. Due out in May, this
News Tennis World Tour Ships without Advertised Online Multiplayer
Fault
Tennis World Tour is out today, but it’s not finished. Proving yet again that the PlayStation 4’s doomed when it comes to simulations of one of the planet’s most popular sports, developer Breakpoint has just nonchalantly announced that online multiplayer’s been removed from the launch build of the game. Surprise everyone! While the...
News Tennis World Tour Pits McEnroe Against Agassi
You cannot be serious?!
We’re sure it’s a complete coincidence that Bigben Interactive has released this new Tennis World Tour gameplay footage on the same day as AO International Tennis’ worldwide launch. The video shows legends John McEnroe and Andre Agassi going head-to-head, although we’re hoping that the encoding is to blame for the...

News John McEnroe, Andre Agassi Join Tennis World Tour
You cannot be serious!
Tennis World Tour will score a premium Legends Edition upon release on 22nd May, which will include two additional superstars: Andre Agassi (with his 1995 outfit) and John McEnroe (with his 1990 outfit). In the latter’s case, we’re assuming that means a big fat bandana, which may have just pushed us towards the pre-order...
News Tennis World Tour Rallies to PS4 Ahead of the French Open
Hawk-eye can't wait
You’ll be able to celebrate Roland Garros with a round of virtual tennis this year, as Bigben Interactive has announced that Tennis World Tour will target the PlayStation 4’s baseline from 22nd May. That’s days prior to the French Open getting underway, and a couple of months ahead of Wimbledon as well. Perfect timing. The...
News Tennis World Tour Took Motion Capture to a Real Court
New balls, please
AO Tennis is out in Australia, meaning that the PlayStation 4 has finally served up some digital tennis. Early indications are that it isn’t great, however, which is perhaps evidenced by its limited release. The good news is that there’s still Tennis World Tour to look forward to, although that hasn’t exactly dazzled either...
PSX 2017 Tennis World Tour Hits the PS4's Baseline in May
Come out swingin'
Sony casually debuted the first footage of Tennis World Tour at PSX 2017 this weekend, a title which it seems to be taking a lot of interest in. This is alpha footage so it does look pretty rough around the edges, but we can definitely see the Top Spin inspirations in the action, with the animation-heavy movement and the...
PGW 2017 Tennis World Tour Avoids Double Fault with Debut Trailer
Game, set, and match
Honestly, this author was pretty disgruntled when Tennis World Tour failed to materialise at Gamescom 2017 like publisher Bigben had promised. In fact, your humble host may have taken to Twitter to pester the firm for an update. Anyway, the good news is that it’s not cancelled. The bad news is that this trailer is looking...
