If you’ve ever thought “what if Mutant Football League had even more features, more plays, and more multiplayer,” you’re not alone. Digital Dreams Entertainment thought the same, so they decided to make a sequel: Mutant Football League 2.
Digital Dreams is building Mutant Football League 2 for next-gen consoles, which allows for a substantially higher level of presentation quality thanks in no small part to physically based rendering. Improved lighting and shadow effects, smoother animations, and a more advanced collision system are just some of the planned improvements.
Developer Digital Dreams is also going deep on Mutant Football League 2’s online features, adding new modes and ways to shake up the classic game. Whether you’re online or off, Digital Dreams is giving you even more ways to strategize by adding an eighth player to the field, raising the number of receivers to four.
You’ve waited like good mutants, and finally, your chance to build a blood-soaked football empire is just around the corner.
Mutant Football League 2 is now available through Steam Early Access, bringing the Mayhem Bowl to a new generation with brutal, bone-crunching matches, dozens of killer teams and stadiums, and upgraded players that undergo visual changes in the game, sporting larger armor and unlocking new levels of customization to enhance their visual style and unique badassery.
“We wanted to bring MFL 2 to Steam Early Access first,” commented Michael Mendheim, creator of the Mutant Football League series, “Because Mutant Football League has always been a collaborative project between us, the developer, and the MFL community. Early Access provides the best platform to shape the vision of the game and ensure a fun and great playing experience with the fan base."
MFL 2 launches in early access with two-player online multiplayer, 16 teams – including the Karcass City Creeps and Killadelphia Evils – and more than a dozen fields ready to welcome your team to an early grave. Forget neat, trimmed grass and organized bleachers. These bad boys welcome teams to an early grave with Tesla coils, sharks, and buzzsaws, and punctuate major moments with explosive blood geysers going off left and right.
But you’re there to win, no matter what agonizing, life-ending pain you have to make your team suffer to do it, and that’s exactly what you’re gonna do in MFL 2’s Mayhem Bowl Championship. Sign mutants, trade mutants, train mutants, and push them all the way to the top in Season Mode. Expand your card collection, and build a fearless team of players who make their opponents scream for mommy.
And that’s not all.
Mutant Football League 2 features more plays and formations than ever before and more hazards as well. Weather conditions change during matches, throwing a wrench into your best-laid plans with new obstacles – or maybe even giving you an unexpected advantage over your opponent. You’ll also be able to create custom teams and even draft MFL players to your roster in our new and improved Dynasty Supreme franchise mode.
Key Features:
