The new version of Empire of Sports introduces a brand new game mode: tennis doubles. Alongside another player –chosen by you if you previously created a group with him or her– you enter the court and face two opponents. New tactics, positions on the court, effort management… Doubles are a whole new adventure, both more challenging and rewarding. Expect exciting new sensations!

And that’s not all! Thanks to the involvement and active support of its community, Empire of Sports has made major steps forward included in the latest version:

- A new club management system. In order to tighten bonds between players in the same club, members can unlock special features for their club, such as a dedicated club house, exclusive sporting abilities, a private training centre… They even can design their own coat of arms thanks to an emblem editor.

- Displaying of Titles and Achievements. This new tool is meant for players to show off by displaying their favourite distinction, and changing it whenever they feel like it. Tennis champion? Football Fan? Superstar? From now on, let everybody know that you are the best downhill skier or that you’ve made it to the top 50 in the overall ranking!

- New training modes for skiing and bobsleigh. With the “ghost” mode, players can record the runs they do, alone or against other players, so that they can replay them at will. In “time trial” mode, skiers race the clock to do the best downhill runs in the allotted time.

- Tournament monitoring. It is now possible to keep an eye on the scores of all the current matches in real time, and even watch any ongoing tennis match –and therefore collect precious information on opponents’ favourite tactics.

- Players’ first steps. New players are now given a warmer and more dynamic welcome to allow them to get in the game better and quicker.

Empire of Sports in currently in a Prologue phase: this phase allows the game to expand progressively, with the help and feedback of its vast community.
