NACON is expanding its games catalogue and strengthening one of the long-established pillars of its portfolio with Handball 21.

After four years with no new handball game, Eko Software – one of NACON's studios – returns with a new edition of the game that sets the standard for handball simulations.

Drawing on Eko's experience and input from the player community, the developers are taking representation of handball, a sport with over 27 million sports federation members worldwide, to another level.

Key Features:

• Extensive officially licensed content: Handball 21 includes the four major European leagues and several second division leagues, for a total of 1,600 handball players represented in the game. Play as some of the world's top players, such as Nikola Karabatic, Valero Rivera and Melvyn Richardson.
• New game modes: Solo, multiplayer, local and online – Handball 21 also features new game modes such as League Mode, in which you follow the career of a player and manage his team. In Solo Mode, you can create your own team, recruit players and enter tournaments.
• Deeper and improved gameplay: Players can enjoy new game options such as defence tactics, custom set plays, and redesigned AI.
• A faithful and realistic simulation: The stadiums have been recreated from the ground up, while the players' 3D models and animations are more realistic thanks to motion capture.

Handball 21 is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC in Nov. 2020.
