If golfing is your thing, but you much prefer colourful characters to real-life players, then Bandai Namco and HYDE have the best news. Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots will be headed to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on September 4, followed by a PC release the next day.

The beloved series is getting some fresh blood, with gameplay that promises to give both veterans as well as new players something to look forward to. The classic method of getting that perfect shot with just three precise button presses returns, ensuring that everyone, with a bit of practice, can become a master of the greens.

With unique characters and a variety of courses that are available across different game modes, as well as online and offline, it should be interesting to see just how Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots ups the ante. You should definitely take some time to play solo and refine your golf skills, using Solo Rounds to improve and set personal bests.

Once you are comfortable enough, you can take on Challenge Mode and start climbing the ranks and beat out the other golfers trying to win. With that confidence, players can then move onto the global stage, with multiplayer action accessible either locally with up to four players or going online to compete against everyone else.

There is even a new mode in Wacky Golf. Forget about the conventions of the game; in this mode, it’s all about twisted rules, crazy obstacles, and all sorts of scenarios that will both challenge and entertain.

To sweeten the pot even further, Pac-Man has been confirmed as a playable character in Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots. For players who pre-order the digital download version or make an early purchase of the package version of the title, Pac-Man can be yours earlier than through normal progression.
