Yesterday saw the release of 2K’s newest football title, NFL 2K Playmakers. This mobile game is a card-battling title that lets players build their teams and compete against each other. As you may know, this didn’t please many fans who are waiting for a ‘real’ 2K football title to hit consoles. However, sources at 2K have told Sports Gamers Online that NFL 2K Playmakers is only one game they have planned for the NFL licensing, and more are set to come in the future.
Console NFL 2K game in development?
Following the backlash from the announcement of NFL 2K Playmakers, sources at 2K have told Sports Gamers Online that the release of 2K’s mobile game is just the start of what they have planned for NFL 2K. Hinting that another game is undoubtedly in development. But is this the console game fans have been waiting for?
Step back from the ledge.
After speaking with multiple sources, it's been reiterated to me that NFL 2K Playmakers is just the "first step" in the game release plan with the license between the NFL and 2K.
"It was always going to include mobile. More games are coming."
