The multi-million dollar title has enjoyed much success over the last few years as a former #1 on Apple Arcade and at last PC and console players will soon be able to experience the thrills of the most exciting multiplayer football game to be launched since Jon Hare’s Sensible Soccer series came out at the end of the last century.

Now as owner and creative director of Sociable Soccer, Hare hopes to take on EA Sports FC and e-football head to head by countering their sumptuous, but predictable, simulation style gameplay with the gritty, 100 miles per hour thrills and spills of gegenpressing, addictive, arcade style online and offline multiplayer matches and a whole world of soccer for single players to immerse themselves in.

All players who bought the Steam Early Access version of Sociable Soccer are to receive the game for free when it launches in November this year.

Back in 1994 the fledgling FIFA franchise used its marketing muscle to knock Sensible World of Soccer, the most influential European developed game of all time (Stanford University 2006), off the top of the world football game charts.  Jon Hare, the British designer of the Sensible Soccer franchise, is a man who holds grudges and now he is back to seek vengeance with Sociable Soccer 24.

“Today, while EA Sports FC and the like are inadvertently grooming children as gamblers by packing their overpriced, overhyped simulations full of loot boxes and all manner of money traps, our game is the only one in the world offering arcade football, packed with fun, for less than half the price AND with 13,000 FIFPRO licensed, real world footballers to unlock for free” - said Hare. “…and all of the people who bought Sociable Soccer on Steam Early Access many years ago will get the whole game for free too.”

 He continued: “We can’t compete with these corporate fuckers with regard to their $200m marketing war chests, or their ‘almost realistic until they start moving’ graphics, but we can wipe the floor with them when it comes to value for money and playability”

“I am not one to brag,” - joked Hare with a glint in his eye “But I have had a #1 football game in each of the last four decades, so it is hopefully only a matter of time before our Sociable Soccer series rises to the top again. It has already brought us success and a load of money, but for me, that is not enough. What I would love more than anything is to sit on top of the pile again, for one last time, and crow about outliving FIFA and finally getting even with EA."

Developer Tower Studios signed a licensing deal with FIFPRO providing the game with over 10,000 licensed players from around the world. This partnership with FIFPRO makes Sociable Soccer 24 the only FIFPRO-licensed arcade action football game currently available on the market for PC and console.
