TopSpin 2K25 Looks Like a Real Winner in PS5, PS4 Gameplay Showcase | Push Square

It has been a while since we last saw an updated TopSpin game. The last time 2K released a tennis game in their signature style was in 2011 when we all enjoyed Top Spin 4. In the meantime, WWE, NBA, and even LEGO have had their moment in the limelight, while tennis went unappreciated. If you have been sitting around waiting for a 2K tennis game, your time is now. 2K is almost ready to release TopSpin 2K25, and here is everything you need to know about it.

Imagine Earth, a city building strategy title that launched a few years back on PC and Xbox, is making the jump to PS5 and PS4 on the 9th May. The game takes place in 2084, and tasks you with creating sustainable civilisation on various alien planets, following on from the greed-driven ruin of humanity's original home. We think developer Serious Bros. is trying to tell us something...

TopSpin 2K25 is about to be served up on PS5, and after playing the game at a hands-on preview, it’s quietly become one of our most anticipated releases of the year. From top tennis talent to this long-dormant franchise getting the 2K treatment, there’s plenty of reason for us to be excited — but what about those behind every swing, serve and set? We managed to speak with Game Director Remi Ercolani to learn about tech advances, post-launch support, and why now is the perfect time for the series to return.

Atari has announced it's collaborating with Shantae and River City Girls developer WayForward to develop a new entry in the Yars' Revenge series, named Yars Rising. Slated to launch at the end of this year, the title was announced during today's Nintendo Indie World showcase, but will release also for PS5 and PS4. Check out the reveal trailer above.

V Rising is an enormously popular vampire RPG currently in Early Access on Steam, where even in its currently unfinished state, it enjoys Very Positive reviews overall. Announced for PS5, we got a better look at the kind of gameplay particularly bloodthirsty players can look forward to sinking their teeth into.

Formerly known as Cat Quest: Pirates of the Purribean, but now renamed Cat Quest 3, the third game in developer The Gentlebros' charming series is sailing to PS5 and PS4 on the 8th August. The title also has a new trailer that's stuffed with fresh gameplay footage — and if, like us, you're a fan of the first two games, then you'll likely think it looks fangtastic.

Publisher Marvelous and developer Voracious Games have unveiled a console port of their well-received shopkeeping sim, Potionomics. Coming to PS5 this autumn as Potionomics: Masterwork Edition, this is a souped-up version of the game that adds various new features to the experience.

SteamWorld Heist, the beloved turn-based tactical shooter, is getting a sequel. Launching on PS5, PS4, and basically everything else on 8th August 2024, SteamWorld Heist 2 is a direct follow-up to the original, swapping out spaceships for a sea-faring adventure but retaining the ricochet-based strategy fans know and love.

The TopSpin 2K25 soundtrack has been unveiled by 2K Games, and it will feature 18 songs. Artists such as Drake, Fall Out Boy, Justin Timberlake, and Swedish House Mafia are amongst some of the musicians that feature. There is also an original score by BT, aka Brian Transeau, a musical pioneer in the world of trance. The ‎TopSpin 2K25 Soundtrack by 2K is on Apple Music, so those interested, and have an Apple Music account, can listen to it now.

2K’s long-dormant tennis sim series is set to return later this month with TopSpin 2K25, and from its roster of playable pros to the modes and venues it’ll have on offer, it’s looking like it’s going to be quite a full-featured return to the limelight for the franchise. There will, however, be some exceptions to the things it’ll feature at launch- such as online doubles.

It’s been a long, long time since we last got a new game in 2K’s Top Spin franchise, but after a prolonged absence, it’s finally set to return when TopSpin 2K25 launches later this month. Developer Hangar 13 has been revealing plenty of new details on the tennis sim in the lead-up to its launch, and in a recent interview with Wccftech, also shed light on what to expect from the game’s performance targets on all platforms.

Originally released for the PSP all the way back in 2008 and 2009 respectively, Class of Heroes and Class of Heroes 2 are returning to PlayStation over a decade later. These fairly hardcore, grind-heavy dungeon crawlers were met with hit and miss reviews back in the day, but they did manage to establish a following amongst players who enjoyed their party-building and character progression systems.
