2K revealed an in-depth look at TopSpin 2K25 gameplay and announced the list of officially licensed tournaments and venues that will be available when the game launches in April 2024.
In TopSpin 2K25 Centre Court Report: Gameplay Showcase, the first in a series of video developer diaries that offer deeper looks into various elements of the game, Remi Ercolani, Game Director and Jesse Scott, Associate Principal Designer, offer an overview of the gameplay mechanics that give TopSpin 2K25 a real tennis feel, meticulously perfecting every playing surface, capturing the style of each playable pro, and bringing the breathtaking venues to life with energetic crowds. The developers discuss players’ signature animations, unique court physics, such as sliding on clay, highly detailed environments, improved serves, and more. Players who master the all-new Timing Meter will learn how to hit perfect forehands, backhands, and serves at the TopSpin Academy with John McEnroe, and get creative with their rallies to beat the competition.
In TopSpin 2K25 players will visit some of the most vibrant courts on the tennis circuit, from the four Grand Slam® tournaments to all nine ATP Masters 1000 venues, including larger-than-life international arenas like Indian Wells (BNP Paribas Open), La Caja Mágica (Mutua Madrid Open), Foro Italico (Internazionali BNL d’Italia), and more. All three playing surfaces will be available – hard court, clay, and grass – each offering unique challenges and animations, while outdoor venues offer three different times of day to play, including nighttime matches. 48 unique courts will be available to play or unlock via gameplay at launch, as a number of original creations dreamed up by the development team at Hangar 13 are featured, in addition to the officially licensed venues.
