“Copa City” is a debut game by Triple Espresso, a new Poland-based entity combining the passion for sport, expertise in gaming and effective marketing. The first football tycoon that combines strategic thinking with sports-themed gameplay that will deliver something truly innovative to the gaming industry.
The game evokes the full spectrum of emotions linked with the anticipation for the great football match that is to be staged. The player’s task is to prepare the stadium and the hosting city with its infrastructure for a great football match. The game introduces a revolutionary twist to the tycoon genre. With medium-paced gameplay and challenging missions, players need to deal with ensuring safety and providing entertainment to the thousands of demanding football fans before the kick-off, utilizing diverse mechanics and strategic planning for a truly rewarding experience. Other than in previous football-orientated games, the result of the match is not a goal in “Copa City”, where all that counts is the perfect organization of the event and “football fiesta”, a unique factor of satisfaction of engaged football fans.
Player’s emotion will boost as the game provides a real entourage: a variety of match combinations across diverse and real cities that includes top football arenas and teams. On the release day there will be six world class football clubs and three great stadiums available for the players, describes Jakub Szumielewicz (CEO and Founder at Triple Espresso), We are very proud that the football environment sees us as a credible partner and our innovative product has a real shot for market success. That was the main reason why we managed to sign licensing agreements with such top brands like Arsenal FC, FC Bayern Munich and CR Flamengo or the PGE Narodowy stadium in Warsaw. We hope to engage the community of players in anticipation as we will reveal the next clubs and cities between the announcement and the launch of “Copa City”.
Our approach changes the rules significantly as we switch from the perspective of football players to recognizing the perception of football fans, says Karol Leśniewicz (Lead Game Designer at Triple Espresso), Taking care of the organization of a football match creates an unforgettable experience deeply rooted in the real emotions of fans that reflect the true spirit of football. Each decision taken has consequences and impacts both safety and entertainment not only of the visiting supporters, but also the neighborhood of the hosting-city. Brand new approach towards social, cultural and economic factors guarantees that each gameplay mode will provide a unique experience of organizing a football match.
The launch of the game is planned for 2025, check our social media channels for the regular updates and add “Copa City” to your wishlist!
