Rockstar surprises with first next-generation title

Following recent controversy over the GTA 'Hot Coffee' mod and forthcoming title Bully, it appears that Rockstar is attempting to avoid any further negative publicity with its first next-gen game - which is simply titled Table Tennis.

Following recent controversy over the GTA 'Hot Coffee' mod and forthcoming title Bully, it appears that Rockstar is attempting to avoid any further negative publicity with its first next-gen game - which is simply titled Table Tennis.

The game will see players taking on the role of a professional table tennis player, battling it out against realistic characters in real world environments. It's being developed for Xbox 360 by Rockstar San Diego.

Table Tennis will certainly mark a departure for Rockstar, which is better known for producing the Grand Theft Auto series and other controversial titles such as Manhunt. It seems likely that the publisher will welcome a break from negative media coverage with its new sports title.

Table Tennis is out on May 26th, priced GBP 29.99.
