EA announced today that developer EA Canada is creating an all-new tennis franchise for EA SPORTS. The franchise will initially release for Wii with Wii Motion Plus support and subsequently release for all other major systems in 2009. The new franchise will be loaded with licensed players from the past and present, and it will even exclusively feature “the All England Tennis Club – home of The Championships, Wimbledon.” Here’s what Peter Moore, President of EA Sports had to say on the subject: “As we look to expand the EA SPORTS brand and captivate sports fans from around the world with rich new interactive experiences, it was obvious that the renaissance we’re seeing in the sport of tennis provides us with a big opportunity,” said Peter Moore, President, EA SPORTS. “Our new tennis franchise, coming first to the Wii, will put fans right into the action and provide the excitement, tension and drama that true champions feel in legendary matches – like the classic from Wimbledon just last month.” |
