In October 2016, Sega announced it had secured the licensing rights from the International Olympic Committee to publish video games based on the 2020 Summer Olympics, with plans for games to be released on various devices.[4] Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 was announced alongside Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game on March 29, 2019, at the Sega Fes stage show in Japan.[3][5] It will be the first Mario & Sonic game since the Rio 2016 Olympic Games edition for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS,[3][6] and is scheduled to be released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch in November 2019[2] and for arcade cabinets sometime in 2020.[3] A companion game for Android and iOS, Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, will also be released in 2020.[1][5] The game was featured at E3 2019.[7]
