A new Virtua Tennis offering is this afternoon announced by Sega, the publisher confirming that this latest outing will be called '2009'.

A release in May is on the cards apparently, with PS3, and versions planned. The PC version will even be downloadable. How zeitgeisty.

A World Tour mode will of course form the game's centre-point, in addition to rankings, a player creation tool and more. There's even a store. You know, for selling things.

More on this as serve the aces our way.
