Formalized in March 2021, EA Sports PGA Tour has been very discreet in its communication despite the broadcast of a short teaser last year. Good news, the next golf simulation from Electronic Arts has finally decided to be talked about again yesterday through a four-minute gameplay trailer.
Another little surprise, she also took the opportunity to reveal her release date. This is fixed March 24 on PC and the most recent consoles from Sony and Microsoft.
A strong contender ahead for PGA Tour 2K ?
Still placing as much emphasis on the desire to offer “realistic gameplay” and gaming experience “never seen before”the title does not hesitate to make the complete tour of the various mechanics which should allow him to reach this degree of quality (types of shot, behavior of the ball, putt…) while not forgetting to focus on his new shooting system called “Pure Strike”.

Also note that the trailer concocted by the developers of EA Tiburon gives us a better overview of what its production is capable of displaying graphically.
