Midway Announces Blitz: Playmakers

Company: Midway
Product: Blitz: Playmakers

Midway Games has announced the development of Blitz: Playmakers, a new, unlicensed video game exposing the harsh realism and troubling, behind-the-scenes stories of a fictional professional football league. Blitz: Playmakers has been in development at Midway?s Chicago studio for the past year in collaboration with a writer from ESPN?s controversial ?Playmakers? TV series. Blitz: Playmakers goes behind the glitz and glamour of the game through a revolutionary campaign mode that explores the on-field violence, off-field fallout, and front-office politics of professional football. Blitz: Playmakers is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2005 on multiple video game console platforms.

?Midway?s Chicago studio has laid the foundation over the past year for what is the ultimate alternative to watered down NFL sanctioned football games,? said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer of Midway. ?No longer bound to the NFL license, there will be no league restrictions on content and gamers will finally experience what makes playing a football video game really fun: off-field controversies, dirty hits, excessive celebrations and much more. Blitz: Playmakers buyers will be assured of one thing -- our game will include all the gameplay and fun the NFL won?t allow.?

Blitz: Playmakers will feature a powerful story mode that, for the first time ever in a football video game, explores the realism, lifestyle, and drama found in professional football. Players will take the helm of a downtrodden football franchise and retool the players and coaching staff in a quest to guide them to the league championship. Additional features include intense multiplayer action with head-to head online play and complete customization of players, teams, stadiums, and more.
