Padel Rivals

The silence is broken... the cheers are heard

There are moments in life that feel like a leap of faith. Today is one of those days for us. After months of working in the shadows, of sleepless nights shaping an idea that seemed crazy, of filling whiteboards with concepts only we understood, we can finally break the silence. Today, with incredible pride and a sense of vertigo, we introduce Padel Rivals.

But Padel Rivals isn't just a video game. It's the answer to a question that had been on our minds for far too long: why isn't there a padel game on PC and consoles that does justice to the adrenaline and passion of this sport? That question turned into a conversation, that conversation into a document, and that document into an obsession that has culminated in the founding of our own studio: Krokanti Games.

Forged in a "krokanti" summer

This summer has been our crucible. While the world slowed down, we sped up. Every day has been a mix of game design, programming, and art direction, but above all, of giving our project a soul. We have built the foundations not just of a game, but of a universe. We have brought to life the city of Nova Vista, the vibrant metropolis where the legends of the Padel Rivals League will be forged. We have defined what it means for a game to feel "krokanti": that crispy, satisfying, and unforgettable sensation we aim for in every shot, in every menu, in every sound.

We haven't made this journey alone. What started as the vision of a padel and video game enthusiast has become a team project. A small team, yes, but made up of digital artisans who share the same obsession for detail and the same passion for creating memorable experiences. Each of us has poured our heart into this blank canvas, and what is emerging is something we couldn't be more proud of.

But, what is Padel Rivals?

Padel Rivals is our love letter to padel and the arcade video games that left a mark on us. We are not creating a slow, cumbersome simulator. We are building an experience that captures the essence of padel—the strategy, the reflexes, the use of the walls—and injects it with a dose of speed and spectacle worthy of the best sports arcades.

It's a game that's easy to play but hard to master. A game where victory doesn't depend on superpowers, but on your pure skill: your positioning, nailing the timing of each shot, and managing your stamina to reach match point with energy to spare. We want you to feel the tension of an endless rally, the euphoria of a winning smash, and the healthy rivalry that pushes you to be better in every match.

It all starts today

Today marks a before and after. With the launch of this website and our social media channels, we are opening the doors to our studio. What you will see from now on is the result of a dream taking shape, of a GDD that matures every day, and of a team that is giving it their all.

This isn't just our devlog. It's an invitation. We want you to be part of this journey from the very beginning. To see how the game evolves, to give us your feedback, and to, together, build a community that shares our passion.

The road ahead is long and full of challenges, we know. But the light at the end of the tunnel is shining brighter than ever.

This is Padel Rivals. And the match has only just begun.
