The Pegasus Dream Tour will be launching on 24 June 2021 on iOS and Android, presumably worldwide. Pre-registrations for the title are also now open – only on Google Play for now – though any specific milestone rewards have not yet been revealed.
The game overview is given as follows:
The Pegasus Dream Tour is a massive avatar RPG that features Mine, kind-hearted avatar characters that aim to achieve high goals as para-athletes. Pegasus City serves as a testing ground for a utopian future built on the ideals of the IPC’s philosophy of “Diversity & Inclusion,” where the individuality of each person is fully respected and where players can equip themselves with prosthetic arms, legs and wheelchairs. Once the game generates advanced avatars called “Mine,” whose faces are created based on selfie images taken from the player’s smartphone, the Mine can now forge new relationships with other avatars by freely roaming around the city and participating in various competitions, all the while parlaying back what is happening to the player from the virtual city.
The game aims to let people to enjoy the Paralympics in an innovative way by allowing them to gather inside Pegasus City with friends during the current situation when visiting the actual sporting venues is physically difficult. Players can train in a number of para-sports including the precision-ball-sport boccia, football 5-a-side, athletics, wheelchair basketball and participate in online tournaments. Part of the profits generated by in-game items will be donated to the Agitos Foundation, the leading global organization that develops sport activities for people with impairments as a tool for changing lives.
We actually had an interview with Tomohiro Hasegawa back in November 2019, touching on the philosophies behind developing The Pegasus Dream Tour, which you can check out here.
