  • Australian Open Tennis Coming to PS4 and XB1 in January 2018

    When's the last time there was a tennis game released for both the Xbox and PlayStation? I'm fairly certain that this is the first tennis game for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Regardless, Australian Open Tennis was announced today for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and it will be released January 2018.

    The game is being developed by Melbourne's Big Ant Studios, the studio behind the classic game, Don Bradman Cricket. It will feature Rafael Nadal and Angelique Kerber on the cover of the game. It's not exactly clear if there are other known players included in the roster.

    The game will feature grass courts, hard, and clay. It's also still not clear if there will be other Grand Slam events featured in the game. However, there is a career mode that has you starting from the bottom of a list of 1,500 players as you try to make your way to the top.
    AO Tennis is the most advanced tennis game ever produced. It combines fully licensed, photo realistic players with a decade’s worth of historical shot data that enhances their AI so that they play just like their real-life counterparts, right down to shot selection at any given point of time in a match. Comprehensive career, tournament and online play modes make this the most in-depth tennis game ever created, and sets a new standard for what a tennis game can offer fans.

    PLAY THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN – AO Tennis is the officially licensed game of the Australian Open. Take the title in Singles, Doubles or Mixed Doubles.

    LICENSED PLAYERS and STADIA – Dozens of fully licensed male and female players, including Rafael Nadal and Angelique Kerber in licensed tennis stadia such as Rod Laver Arena.

    ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – Based on ten years of ball tracking data taken from Australian Open championship matches, players behave as they would in real life.

    MOTION CAPTURE – Professional players have been 3D scanned and motion captured in order to bring the most authentic tennis game to date.
    HARD COURT, CLAY OR GRASS – Play on your surface of choice, each has a distinct play style and presents different challenges.

    CAREER MODE – Start out as a star, or work your way from the bottom, climbing through the rankings, all the way to #1 in the world.

    PLAY ONLINE – Challenge the world and become the world champion from the comfort of your living room.

    PLAYER CREATOR – Comprehensive player creator allowing you to create yourself or anyone else – bring your game to the world’s best!

    CUSTOMISATION – Comprehensive Clothing, Stadium and Logo creators. Bring any element you want from the real world into the game for maximum customisation and authenticity.


    I did find something out while I was looking for the trailer for this game. It seems as though another game, Tennis World Tour, was announced back in October. It's coming in "Spring 2018," so it looks like tennis fans have two to look forward to next year. I also just found out that "stadia" is a plural form of "stadium."
