It's 2003, and Xbox gamers are gearing up for a brand new tennis game: Top Spin. Developed by the French team PAM, the game will follow in the footsteps of a certain Virtua Tennis (signed SEGA), although with a much more realistic approach here. The game requires a certain positioning to hit the ball, with the added bonus of a system of “risk-taking” very innovative. The game is a hit, and quickly becomes a classic on the Microsoft console (and it will later be ported to PS2).
Finally a new TopSpin!
Despite the Top Spin aura, the last opus dates back to 2011, with the release of Top Spin 4. A game then very popular but which will, despite itself, sign the end of the saga. A temporary end therefore, since the Top Spin license is preparing its big return, with the highly anticipated TopSpin 2K25. A new opus developed by Hangar 13 which promises to travel the world, and participate in the biggest tournaments, on the central court of Wimbledon, without forgetting Roland-Garros, the US Open and the Australian Open.

The game will allow you to take part in a complete career (via MyPlayer mode), but will obviously be able to embody certain legends like Roger Federer, Andre Agassi or even Serena Williams, without forgetting Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek, Frances Tiafoe and many more# 8217;others. In total, more than 24 professional players will be playable, with the added bonus of a luxury coach, since it is a certain John McEnroe who will be at the head of the TopSpin Academy. Just that!
When does the new TopSpin 2K25 come out??
The new TopSpin 2K25 is expected for April 26. Note that the game was made official last January, as part of the Australian Open.

The game signed Hangar 13 will arrive on our consoles no less than 13 years after the last opus, the latter having been launched in Europe on March 18, 2011 , at a time when 3D was still fashionable on the high-tech side. That doesn't make us any younger.
Where to play TopSpin 2K25 ?
The Top Spin franchise will soon be back on our consoles and PC, with TopSpin 2K25 which is expected on PlayStation consoles, but also on Xbox Series and Xbox One. Added to this is a PC version which will be distributed via the Steam platform.

What's new in TopSpin 2K25 ?
After 13 years of waiting, TopSpin 2K25 obviously promises to reconnect with the joys of virtual tennis, through a simulation that brings together tennis legends, like the new generation. There we will find an academy (headed by John McEnroe), various solo modes, without forgetting the possibility of playing online.

Given the first images (and first previews) of the game, we should clearly not expect any technical slap. But as is often the case, it is not necessarily the visual performance that we will be looking for here, but rather the performance on the court, with, we hope, a game that will satisfy everyone our expectations.

Verdict scheduled for the end of April therefore.
