We now know what Hajime Tabata first game will be and it is The Pegasus Dream Tour. A sports RPG and the first Paralympics videogame. It is made as a way to get the youth into the Paralympics games. Nice thing to do with 2020 coming soon. Basically the player will be virtual games in a fantasy utopia called Pegasus city.
Here are some quotes from Hajime Tabata:
“Right now, I’m developing the official game for the International Paralympic Committee. It’s called “The Pegasus Dream Tour.” I wish to thank everyone involved, who helped me up to this point and make this announcement today. You’ll be able to enjoy the game when the timing’s right in 2020. So stay tuned.”
“The sport at the Paralympics is outstanding and helps transform attitudes towards persons with disabilities like no other event. I am really excited to see and play this game and see how the outstanding abilities of Para athletes are represented.
With this video game, we want to contribute to the future growth of the Paralympic Games, not just as a sporting event, but as entertainment as well, with contents that we hope will have lasting value in the future.”
And here’s one from International Paralympic Committee President Andrew Parsons:
“Ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, we are eager to explore innovative ways to engage with new and younger global audiences. We believe this game will help boost interest in the Paralympic Games and make it easier for people all over the world to enjoy and experience the heated atmosphere, passion and excitement of the event.
