2K Games is getting back into business with NFL Football… but it’s not NFL 2K21 (or even the heavily-rumored XFL 2K21).
The publisher announced today that they’ve reached an agreement with the NFL to produce multiple “non-simulation” football games, with the first set to launch in 2021. Instead, their football games will focus on the “fun and approachable” side of the NFL.
“The NFL is one of the most successful sports brands in the world, known for creating incredible entertainment for fans,” said David Ismailer, the President of 2K Games. “We’re thrilled to be back in business with the NFL in a partnership that will span multiple video games centered on fun, approachable, and social experiences. It’s exciting to bring together 2K’s expertise in creating award-winning sports games with the NFL’s renowned status as a world-class entertainment and sports organization.”
Finally, 2K Games said that we’ll learn more about the “game titles, developers, and release dates” connected to their new NFL Football initiative at a later date.
