    Mutant Football League Pre-Alpha Footage Surfaces

    <iframe width="540" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IVtutEkxEak" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Mutant Football League is still in production, and is aiming for a Q4 2015 release on PC (via STEAM), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS, and Android, according to the latest trailer posted on the development team's YouTube channel. The project is currently self-funded, though developer Digital Dreams Entertainment is seeking a publishing partner.

    The new footage promises:
    • 30 completely customizable teams
    • Hazards and traps in each stadium
    • Weapons like clubs, axes, and chainsaws
    • 7-on-7 football, featuring passing plays (with receiver icons), running plays, and special teams
    • Content targeting a "Mature" ESRB rating

    Digital Dreams Entertainment was founded by Michael Mendheim, the creator and lead designer of the 1993 SEGA Genesis sports game, Mutant League Football.

    Well, I was hoping for a simulation football game announcement but the potential M rating has me interested.

      I know the games a bit away but this game looks pretty stiff at the moment.

            'Looking for publishing partner and investment' while already seeking to publish it on every platform is pretty ambitious, I wish them luck.

            You can see how far they've come, they didn't have anything remotely like this available to even tease w/ last year's kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...otball-league/

            It looks like in May it was reported here a second kickstarter is coming: http://www.operationsports.com/news/...arter-planned/

              I think that in many ways the gaming audience is beyond just wanting a game with mutants. The violent atmosphere is a nice gimmick but I think the success or failure of the game is going to come down to how balanced the gameplay can be. If the football isn't well-executed and either super-fun arcadey or complex sim-style, it's not going to matter that you can "kill" the players on the other team.

                Agree, this looks like it's aiming to put a fresh coat of paint on the Blitz formula.

                It made me wonder if they could license the Cyberball IP and have some crossover DLC

                  Blitz is the same feel I get from it. I'd rather they scrap the Mutant League and do a Blitz The League-style remake with this engine. I don't know, I'm just not too excited about Mutant League football. It was an okay game in 1993, but I just have reservations that mutant football has a place in today's gaming landscape, especially targeting AAA platforms.

                  As an aside, why 30 teams and not 32? I'm sure space is not an issue.

                  Anyway, love the guy's passion, I just think a talent like that could do wonders for football gaming--and lord knows we need it--but outside of this mutant business.

                      The weird indie game that I wish existed, but doesn't, is something like this, but with Football-playing Robots built with deep and detailed individual customization system and unforgiving physics on top of precise simulation gameplay.

                      A game with a building interface as detailed as Kerbal Space Program, building robots like those in Real Steel or Pacific Rim, playing football like that in 2K5/2K8

                      That's what I want. This looks awesome though, and maybe this will fill that niche.

                        Re: Mutant Football League Pre-Alpha Footage Surfaces

                        Is this game due for a Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, or Xbox One release?

                          PS4/Xbox One/PC/iOS/Android

                          They seem to have scrapped their initial plan to appear on 360/PS3.
