TIEBREAK: Official game of the ATP and WTA | Gameplay Overview | PEGI | ERSB | USK
Available in early access on Steam since January 18, 2024, TIEBREAK continues to evolve, perfecting gameplay ahead of its full release on PC and consoles on August 22, 2024. With the aim of designing the most accomplished and realistic tennis simulation in a video game, Big Ant Studios illustrates the different aspects of gameplay and content that players will be able to discover:
An impressive roster of over 120 professional players: the game features ultra-realistic representations of today's top male and female tennis players, each photographed with his or her own style of play. Play as tennis legends Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, or as current stars like Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner.
Realistic and technical gameplay: to guarantee an immersive, authentic hands-on experience, the development team meticulously recreated the players' iconic techniques. Discover Nadal's famous serve preparation and Roger Federer's iconic backhand, as well as the gestures and special techniques of every player on the roster. Playing against Novak Djokovic on grass or Coco Gauff on hard court will be very different: the AI has been developed with the support of precise real-life data to reconstitute the players' styles and patterns of play, depending on the surface.
An exclusive mode dedicated to legend Novak Djokovic: relive the most memorable matches of Novak Djokovic's career in a brand-new mode, the Novak Djokovic Slam Challenge. Listen to Novak Djokovic's invaluable advice, replay his victories and try to change the course of history by winning the matches where he fell short.
Official ATP and WTA licensed content: TIEBREAK offers a wide variety of game modes, both online and offline, including a complete Career mode allowing you to play the full ATP and WTA seasons, including the prestigious ATP Masters 1000, WTA 1000 Series, ATP and WTA 500, ATP and WTA 250, as well as the Nitto ATP Finals and WTA Finals Riyadh. The game also gives you the chance to create your own stadiums, tournaments and even players, with all the tools provided in the Academy.
