While Sorcery seemingly failed to deliver that elusive triple-A PlayStation Move title Sony promised, the company isn’t giving up on the peripheral, lining up the all-new Sports Champions 2 for a fall 2012 launch.

As you might have guessed, it’s the sequel to the 2010 PS Move launch game Sports Champions, which surprisingly enough, was a "multi-million unit-seller" according to Sony’s press blurb.

Developed by Zindagi Games and Sony’s San Diego Studio, the game will boast an expanded sports line-up including skiing, boxing, tennis, golf, bowling plus “a fully updated Archery experience.”

Said Jeremy Ray, producer at Sony Worldwide Studios: "Sports Champions 2 revives favorite features, including the surprisingly deep and challenging single-player Cup Play and the customizable Free Play mode, plus fun arcade Challenge rounds for each event.

"We’ve made a ton of improvements, too: Three-point PS Move calibration is no longer required (and it won’t sacrifice gameplay; player avatars can be created and customized per event; a new profile system enables everyone in the house to play together with their own avatars and settings; and the photo booth is more customizable and easier to use," he added.

Sports Champions 2 will also feature a new party game mode, which Ray goes on to detail:

You can play matches from any combination of events, including Challenge Rounds, and add up your score to see who reigns as the party champion. You can create your own match playlist, see photos and voices from each player during the game, and draw something humiliating (or nice!) on the hapless loser."

Is this likely to be the title to get gamers to dust off their PlayStation Move controllers? Or will it be yet another nail in the device’s coffin? Guess we’ll have to wait and find out, but we’re certainly keeping our fingers crossed it delivers the goods.

Stay tuned.
