Official Game of the ATP and WTA coming to Switch

Publisher Nacon and developer Big Ant Studios are bringing Tiebreak: Official Game of the ATP and WTA to Switch, the two sides have announced. A release window was not provided.

Tiebreak: Official Game of the ATP and WTA is a tennis game. Fans can become the top player in the world as they compete for entire seasons against professional players.

Tiebreak is the most lifelike tennis simulation ever released, showcasing the essence of gameplay on court and the challenge of managing a career through an entire season of 90 official tournaments against 120+ officially licensed pros. Each professional women’s and men’s player from Novak Djokovic to Nick Kyrgios, and Iga Swiatek to Caroline Wozniacki, has been studied with minute detail to reproduce their signature techniques and strategies, immersing players into the core essence of WTA and ATP play.

Compete as, or against, immortal stars such as Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Rafael Nadal, or Naomi Osaka to name just a few of the 120+ tour champions. Each of these legendary players attacks and defends with their own unique playing style. Imagine a tournament on the women’s circuit against Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Jasmine Paolini, Maria Sakkari, Caroline Garcia, Qinwen Zheng, Mirra Andreeva and Katie Boulter. Face off with the likes of Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz or Andy Murray on the men’s circuit.

The Tiebreak Dev Team has taken player animations to new heights. They have travelled the world to capture authentic signature movements of players to deliver a realistic, immersive experience. Take on Djokovic’s impregnable service return, jump to return Nadal’s powerful topspin forehand, and watch out for Federer’s slice backhand. Challenge yourself to learn each star’s iconic moves and find a way to beat them.

Tiebreak has integrated real-world data into each AI-powered professional tour player to echo their actual tactical patterns on each playing surface. Learning how to beat Nadal on clay is no guarantee of victory on grass, hard court or synthetic. A season is long. Victory requires patience and planning. Drive opponents to play to your strengths while you exploit their weaknesses, adjusting for each unique surface.

The power of the racquet in the palms of your hand, feel every shot, live every stroke, embrace the challenge. Thousands of players have given their feedback during extended early access, allowing the developers to test and evaluate dozens of high-level parameters, to honing a realistic gameplay experience with unprecedented authenticity. Built by gaming professionals, perfected by passionate fans – Tiebreak is a revolution in tennis simulation.
