That being June 22, 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. And yeah, even though the Olympics are happening this year this still carries the 2020 tag. Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Video Game is set to debut with 18 different multiplayer and solo events ranging from the classic 100 metre dash to Boxing and Beach Volleyball.
Here's the launch trailer.
With the events being: 100m, 4x100m Relay, 110m Hurdles, Hammer Throw, Long Jump, Baseball, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, BMX (Cycling), Boxing, Judo, Rugby Sevens, Football (Soccer), 100m Freestyle (Swimming), 200m Individual Medley (Swimming), Sport Climbing, Table Tennis, and Tennis.
“The Olympic Games are a unifying symbol of sportsmanship and competition for athletes and fans throughout the world,” said Ian Curran, President & COO at SEGA of America. “Tokyo 2020 channels that positive spirit into a fun, arcade-style experience for friends and family to play together as we all look forward to the start of the Olympic Games this Summer.”
With an athlete creator (with fun outfits like "spacesuit" included) and support for 8-players in addition to global leader-boards, if you're a fan of the "press the button as fast as you can" genre of arcade sports -- this looks good.
