16 April 2024 - nWay is excited to announce today the upcoming launch of Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024, a hybrid casual sports and simulation game that merges city-building with the Olympic Games Paris 2024 sport events to bring exciting gameplay for fans of the world’s foremost multi-sports event. Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024 is published by nWay under license from the International Olympic Committee, and will launch globally in June 2024 for Android and iOS devices and PC.
Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024 will feature 12 Olympic sports that players unlock through constructing and managing their own personalized virtual cities. The game will include 12 thrilling mini-games based on sporting events featured at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, including classics such as swimming, 100-meter dash, fencing, and artistic gymnastics. In addition, Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024 will include a game based on breaking, marking the first time the sport will be included as an official Olympic event and offering a modern twist to the experience.
Players will compete for gold medals at each sporting event within Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024, celebrating the triumphs and competitive spirit of the Olympic Games. As players progress through the game, they can unlock and customize their own host city, building it with unique charm and benefits. Benefits unlocked by building the city include resources used to improve athletes’ training, making them more competitive in the mini-games. Through skillful management and success in the sporting events, players can earn in-game Fan points, which are used for leveling up venues and upgrading buildings in their city.
Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024 enters into soft launch this month. Pre-registration via the app store or website will unlock exclusive in-game digital 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.
