JP Games has announced the release of the first-ever official game for the Paralympics: The Pegasus Dream Tour.
The Pegasus Dream Tour, which is set in the virtual city of Pegasus City, gives players the chance to create an avatar and take part in training and sports.
Creating an avatar called a Mine, which they can make using selfies on their phone, players are offered two sports, boccia and the 100m sprint, with other sports such as wheelchair racing, five-a-side football, and wheelchair basketball scheduled to be added at a later date.
The growth and success of each player’s Mine contribute to the development of Pegasus City.
