Sony has announced the next iteration of the Virtua Tennis series for the PS3, featuring support for both Move and 3D.

Apparently with PlayStation Move the game is about more than just hitting the ball, it’s about the angle of the racquet, the spin and speed of the ball and the power of the shot. Along with 3D support the game promises to deliver “unprecedented realism to the tennis experience”.

“Virtua Tennis 4 is a fantastic example of how our 3rd Party partners are seeing the potential not just in PlayStation Move, but also 3D,” said Simon Rutter, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing at SCEE.

“The combination of both Move and 3D offers an entirely new gaming experience and one that has the potential to completely change how people interact with their entertainment. Virtua Tennis 4 shows how this technology can be implemented and we are very excited to be working with SEGA on this.”

More details on additional features, along with the full player line-up are expected within the next few months.

It’s scheduled for release sometime in 2011.
