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.
