With Sports Champions being one of the only decent PlayStation Move titles out there, we’re pleased to report that Sony has announced a sequel for the motion controlled sports game.
On the PS Blog, Sports Champions is described as a “multi-million unit-seller” (although it was bundled with the Move starter pack in the US), so the game is one of the only success stories on the sub-platform. Sports Champions 2, which is being developed by San Diego Studio and Zindagi Games, will include an expanded sports lineup of Skiing, Boxing, Tennis, Golf, Bowling, and a fully updated Archery experience
Sports Champions 2 includes single-player Cup Play, Free Play mode and arcade Challenge rounds. An all-new Party Play mode allows you to play matches from any combination of events, including Challenge Rounds, and add up your score to see who wins. Three-point PS Move calibration will no longer required, player avatars can be created and customized per event and a new profile system enables will allow multiple people to use their own avatars and settings. The photo booth is apparently also more customizable and easier to use.
Sports Champions 2 is set to release on the PS3 “this fall”.
