Remember, in December 2020, Microsoft announces production of Space Jam 2: A New Legacy game, asking the community to collect ideas for the production of the game. A survey undoubtedly more factual than anything else, since six months later, the game is revealed through a (short) gameplay video to reveal to us that will be dealing with a retro beat’em all, with 16-bit graphics of the most beautiful effect. If the community was undoubtedly heard for ideas here and there, the structure of the game had undoubtedly been chosen for a long time. Nevertheless, on Xbox Wire, we are assured that the creation of the game is the amalgamation of ideas from two players: Narayan, from India and Ricky, who lives from the United States, both winners of the contest set up by Microsoft. Xbox and Warner Bros. were visibly seduced by the prospect of a beat’em up the old-fashioned way Ricky suggested and the game mechanics come from Narayan’s ideas. We will therefore find Lebron James, Bugs Bunny and all the others who accompany him in this new adventure where our basketball player will put tatanas rather than baskets. A very good choice, moreover, that Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to enjoy from July 1, while the average person will have to wait until July 15 to take advantage of it, a date that coincides with the film’s release in theaters.
History to go further in the partnership with the film, we learn that three new controllers have been produced for an upcoming sale. Of course, these controllers are inspired by the universe of Space Jam 2 and are called Tune Squad, Goon Squad and Serververse. However, only the “Tune Squad” controller will be available in France, both on the Microsoft Store and at partner resellers such as Amazon France. For the others, it will be necessary to move towards the American market. You might as well say that they risk increasing in value in the years to come.
