Among sports simulators, FIFA is clearly an outstanding benchmark that, after many years, remains at the top. However, despite this, there is a niche that has a large number of fans, and it is none other than tennis games. Well, after several years gone, the king returns: Top Spin.
13 years
After a long lethargy of 13 years, One best tennis simulators returns to the slopes to follow in the wake left by Top Spin 4 in 2011. The name of the new game somehow follows the nomenclature, since with TopSpin 2K25, in addition to marking the season (as already happens with NBA 2K24), takes the step to number 5 symbolically.
For now, the only thing we have been able to know about the game is a slight teaser that shows practically nothing, beyond two players playing a match in Melbourne and revealing that different surfaces such as clay, grass and synthetic will also be available in the game. game. The timing of the announcement coincides with the celebration of the Australian Open, tracks that are precisely those shown in the video, which by the way has been generated by mixing gameplay images with content rendered with the game engine.
The list of players available in the game remains to be known, and we will see if it arrives in time to catch Rafa Nadal active or not, because it seems that its launch will be slightly extended until the middle of the year. Let's hope at least that a career mode is included with the possibility of improving the player, historical players already retired and skill game modes with which to practice movements. Those would be details that would turn the game's launch into a great comeback.
When is it released?
The official website of the game points to a «soon«, so we understand that the launch will be located for some time this year. The problem is that if for now all they have is a scant 20-second teaser, we are afraid to know the exact launch date. Most likely, they have a date set for the official presentation and they are simply increasing the hype with these little pills. Either way, we're looking forward to trying out the new game and seeing what new options it will include to renew the format. And with the latest launches related to tennis, the latest proposals available could not live up to that golden era where Virtua Tennis y Top Spin They generated great and exciting games.
