Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd subsidiary nWay will soon launch ‘Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024’, a hybrid casual sports and simulation game based on the Olympic Games Paris 2024 sport events.
The game will be published under licence from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), launching globally in June 2024 for Android iOS devices and PC.
It will feature 12 Olympic sports for players to unlock through city-building mechanics, allowing players to manage and design their own virtual cities.
Games will include swimming, 100-metre dash, fencing and artistic gymnastics, as well as a game based on breaking, the dance style which will be included as an official Olympic event for the first time this year.
Capturing spirit of the Olympics
“Is there any more exciting and true representation of the thrill of competition than the Olympic Games?” nWay co-CEO Kristen Salvatore said.
“We at nWay are excited to announce our upcoming game in celebration of the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
“Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024 was developed with the IOC to capture the spirit of the Olympics and bring it to players everywhere.”
Players can compete for gold medals at each sporting event within Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024, progressing through the game to unlock new customisations and benefits.
"Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024 encapsulates the Olympic spirit and global appeal of the Olympic Games Paris 2024,” IOC department deputy managing director Elisabeth Allaman.
“By integrating iconic Olympic sports and introducing innovative elements like breaking, the game reflects the Olympics' commitment to promoting diversity and modernity while inspiring excellence and camaraderie among participants.
“We are pleased to bring this innovative gaming experience to fans worldwide."
The game will ‘soft-launch’ this month with pre-registration available via the app store or website for exclusive unlocks of in-game items.
Collectible fans will also be able to claim a free Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024 digital collectible pin of the iconic Paris 2024 mascot later this year.
