EA’s PGA Tour video game is now titled EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour and will launch in June, the publisher has announced.
McIlroy, a four-time Major champion and top-ranked golfer, is also named as the official cover athlete of the game.
“I’m very proud and humbled to see my face and name on EA SPORTS Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR,” said McIlroy. “This is a great honour, and something I couldn’t even dream of growing up playing the sport. I really hope people enjoy the game and I’m very glad I can be a part of it.”
Built on Frostbite the game promises beautiful new environments, featuring the most detailed courses in franchise history. By loading the entire course at once load times between holes are also eliminated.
“Frostbite has allowed us to take this franchise to a whole new level,” stated Brent Nielsen, executive producer. “The new engine drastically improves all facets of the game, from core gameplay to opportunities for brand-new modes and features. We’re looking forward to sharing a lot of great news with our fans throughout the rest of the spring.”
EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour will launch in June for Xbox One and PS4. It looks like PC and old-gen gamers are out of luck.
