Ubisoft has announced Academy of Champions, an arcade football game featuring legendary sports icon Pelé. The game has been developed for Wii and promises to deliver an engaging, interactive experience for kids and their families.
“We made our mark in the sports genre last year with the global success of Shaun White Snowboarding,” stated Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “Now, with Academy of Champions, Ubisoft offers another sports game with a fresh approach that has something unique to offer young gamers and sports fans.”
In development at Ubisoft Vancouver, Academy of Champions will feature a story-driven adventure which begins with the player’s enrolment at a football academy where your coach is the legendary Pelé.
In Academy of Champions players improve their skills, recruit new team members and build the best possible squad to defeat their rival Academy and win the champion cup. The game will also be compatible with the Wii Balance Board and Wii Motion Plus accessories.
The game’s scheduled for release later this year.
