Description
Yes, the first official Paralympic Games video game is coming out in 2020! Sign me up! Looks like Linas is ecstatic about the news! Check here: www.paralympic.org/news/first-…"With the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games opening in just over 500 days’ time, the IPC has announced the creation of its first official video game, with the aim of boosting the popularity of Paralympic sports.
This innovative use of video games is part of the IPC’s strategy to increase the engagement of the youth market in the Paralympic Games an event that is now widely regarded as the world’s third biggest sport event after the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup.
Creating the video game is JP GAMES, a brand-new game developing studio. It was founded by Hajime Tabata, responsible for creating many popular role-playing games, under the concept of “Taking RPG to the next level and creating an abundant future with games”.
“The Pegasus Dream Tour”, which marks the first title to be released by JP GAMES, is a completely new sports role-playing game, where players participate in a virtual Paralympic Games that takes place inside a fantasy metropolis known as Pegasus City.
Here, players awaken their special abilities or “Xtra Power” in an alternate Paralympics world dynamically rendered in ways that only video games can achieve. The makers are planning for the “Pegasus Dream Tour” to be accessible on various platforms, including smartphones."
