Sensible World of Soccer returns on XBLA and PC with online support
Around July 2006, there were some rumors about the impending resurrection of Sensible World of Soccer (SWOS) on Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) and Games for Windows (PC). Codemasters officially confirmed the classic football video two months after for a Q1 2007 release.
It’s late in the first quarter of the year and it’s about time we have an update on this video games. Before we go to the latest development, the original fans of SWOS might be delighted to know that the video game was listed as one of the ten most influential games of all time at the recently concluded Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2007.
Codemasters Online Gaming VP David Solari is quite happy and he mentioned that they really appreciate the accolade.
We are really looking forward to bringing this classic game back on Xbox Live Arcade and PC later this year. We think it’s important to stay true to the original and we’ll be delivering what fans of the original SWOS have been eagerly waiting for years, SWOS online multiplayer!
Whoa! Can you say that again? SWOS Online multiplayer. As much as the new feature is rather fitting and sensible (no pun intended), this is important development because this is a first for the title. Aside from this, Codemasters also mentioned that the new reiteration of SWOS will feature all the original touches as well as optional enhancements to bring its look right up-to-date.
Sensible World of Soccer will be available for the Xbox 360 Summer 2007 while the PC version will be released shortly after.
