Sony has announced today a sequal to one of its more successful Move titles, Sports Champions.

Releasing later this year, Sports Champions 2 is getting back into the ring with an exciting range of new sports. Using single or double motion controllers, you will have the opportunity to compete against friends in all-new events including Boxing, Golf, Bowling, Skiing and Tennis, and hit the bullseye with an updated Archery mode. Sport Champions 2 will bring your family a fun and competitive experience that everyone will want to be a part of.

With a new Party Mode players will have the chance to compete with friends and family in custom and multi-sport tournaments. Create player profiles with individual stat tracking and customise your character to personalise your sports experience.

Everything gamers loved about the original Sports Champions will be included in the sequel; Cup play (solo campaign), Free Play, Challenges (arcade events), online leaderboards and Facebook connectivity will all feature in the exciting new game. All of this combined with full stereoscopic 3D support plus PlayStation Network features make Sports Champions 2 the must have fun filled family sports game in 2012.

We just hope the gladiator event makes a welcome return to this sequel.
