Ipc To Launch First Ever Paralympic Video Game
The first official game of the IPC, the Pegasus Dream Tour, has opened for pre-registration on iOS and Android ahead of its global launch on 24th June.
Created by JP Games, a development studio founded by Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata, The Pegasus Dream Tour launches ahead of the rescheduled Tokyo Paralympics, and takes place inside ‘Pegasus City’ – an online virtual city that ‘upholds the IPC’s diversity and inclusion values’, and will feature nine of the world’s top para-athletes, including five who are contracted by Bridgestone, the first sponsor of The Pegasus Dream Tour.
Illustrated by renowned Japanese artist GODTAIL, ‘Pegasus City’ will enable people from all over the world to ‘enjoy the Paralympics by gathering inside Pegasus City with friends’, creating a virtual forum for fans while attending in person is still difficult or impossible.
Creators say that part of the profits generated by in-game items will be donated to the Agitos Foundation, the global organisation that develops sports activities for people with impairments as a tool for changing lives.
