Midway Games announces Blitz: The League

EA Sports may have the exclusive rights to develop NFL games, but more and more publishers are finding ways to capture the football audience with titles not based on the league. Take for instance Midway Games‘ Blitz: The League – it offers what looks like great visuals, intense action, and a deep array of modes to keep any gridiron game fan happy. See details and screens on it after the jump.

 

So maybe EA Sports has the exclusive license to do NFL games, but that doesn’t mean other publishers can’t do pro football titles anymore. Chicago-based Midway games has announced its own gridiron title with Blitz: The League which takes pigskin action one step further into the extreme with a blend of deep features and arcade-style play.

Blitz: The League throws out the rulebook and lets players do what they want to do to win. An all-new story mode has also been added to make you feel like you’re in an actual ball club.

Screenshots and other renders were released recently so you can take a glimpse of the things to come. Get ready to pump iron and treat opposing players to a little grass buffet when this one finally hits the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 later this year.
