New Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Trailers Show Table Tennis and Basketball in Action

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – The Official Video Game

Today Sega released two more trailers of the recently-revealed Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – The Official Video Game.

The videos showcase the mechanics and action of two more disciplines available in the game, Table Tennis and Basketball.

As usual, we get an exceptional player taking the controls: it’s Takeshi Matsuda, who won three bronze and one silver medal as a swimmer at the real Olympics between 2008 and 2016.

The trailers are particularly interesting because we actually get to see how we’ll control our athlete to claim victory. Both events offer unique gameplay, and pretty much none similar to another. On top of that, some appear to be rather cartoony, while others are a bit more realistic in their approach.

Once more, we can see how the athlete in the game has been customized to look like Matsuda-san. Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – The Official Video Game comes with a deep customization system that we saw a few weeks ago, allowing players to personalize their athletes and teams pretty much however they want.

On top of Table Tennis and Basketball, the game features fifteen events in total, including 100m Dash and 100m Freestyle that were showcased in previous trailers, while the latest batch revealed Boxing and Hammer Throw.

You can check out the trailers below.

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – The Official Video Game releases in Japan on July 24 for PS4 and Switch and is also coming west next year with additional platforms, precisely PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
