AO International Tennis Launching May 8
MELBOURNE, Australia – April 12, in the year of our
Lord 2018 – Big Ant Studios has today announced AO
International Tennis for release on May 8, 2018. Featuring world
#1 Rafael Nadal, AO International Tennis offers the most
comprehensive feature set of any tennis game ever made, giving
players unprecedented control over how they play their favorite
sport.
Additionally, AO International Tennis will be the first game to
be enhanced with PlayFace™, Big Ant’s in-depth character creator
software that gives users the ability to create photorealistic
likenesses in-game. AO International Tennis’ key feature set is
outlined below:
PlayFace™
Big Ant has always been known for its comprehensive player
creator options, but PlayFace™ takes things to the next level.
Through this PC-based companion app, users will be able to take
real-world photography of themselves or their friends, and then
integrate the faces from those photos onto character models,
effectively meaning that through AO International Tennis, a user
can put their photorealistic likeness directly into the game.
These creations can then be uploaded to the Big Ant servers and
downloaded with full cross-platform support to the PlayStation®4
or Xbox One versions of AO International Tennis.
Play Around The World
Play glamorous and prestigious tournaments all over the world on
all court surfaces. Take the title in singles, doubles or mixed
doubles. Select your favorite player – or play as yourself
through an entire career, all the way to #1 and the biggest
championships of them all.
Play On Hard, Grass Or Clay Courts
Play on your surface of choice; each has a distinct play style
and presents different challenges. Master the techniques
required for each, and adjust your approach to truly excel.
Customize Matches!
Play an epic 5-set Grand Slam final, or play with one of the
more experimental formats, like Fast Four, for a quicker tennis
game. Or design your own! AO International Tennis is all about
customization, allowing you to play your game your way.
Venue Creator – Design Your Own Championships
Enhance any mode with custom stadiums created in a unique venue
by either yourself or others in the community. From your local
courts to a renowned international stadium, the editor allows
you to tailor countless elements and share your creations
online.
Don’t stop at a single court, either; create an entire venue
with multiple courts. Customize the main, outside and show
courts, and create your dream park for hosting a tennis
championship.
Licensed To Offer A Depth Of Tennis Experiences
AO International Tennis includes plenty of fully licensed
players, including Rafael Nadal and Angelique Kerber. Tennis
isn’t just about the superstars; you’ll be able to take on some
of the future heroes of the sport, such as Hyeon Chung, Naomi
Osaka and many more, and follow their heroics through the very
biggest tournaments.
Career Mode – Play Hard And Reach The Coveted #1 Ranking
Start out as a star, or work your way from the bottom, climbing
through the rankings all the way to #1 in the world. There are
hundreds of tournaments that occur every year – are you able to
replicate the success of one of the great tennis champions to
select the right tournaments to play in, and then perform well
enough at those tournaments to get the ranking points you need
to get into that top 100, then top 50, top 10, and finally #1,
playing against the world’s best?
Logo And Clothing Creators – Look Great As You Play
Comprehensive clothing and logo creators allow you to be
“sponsored” by your workplace or favorite company. Replicate any
kind of tennis fashion that you might have seen right into the
game. Download and share your favorite creations through the
community, which is continuously growing with player-generated
content.
