Football Heroes League heads to consoles this September
After being released on PC last month, Football Heroes League will head to consoles in September.
Revealed yesterday at The MIX Summer Showcase, the free-to-play game will make its way to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on September 16. A new trailer can be seen here.
A synopsis for the arcade soccer reads:
In the near future, soccer’s popularity has made it the world’s dominant form of competition, attracting the talents of superhuman athletes with technology-enhanced abilities that reshape the game. Robotic drones, the power to harness the elements, and even DNA modification are all on the table – anything to gain that sweet, competitive edge!
Join 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 multiplayer matches in either casual or ranked matches, selecting a hero from a roster of superhuman football champs. Deploy Bun-E’s robotic rabbits to block an attacker’s shot on goal. Cross the field with Frostine’s ice slide to rocket down the pitch high above defenders’ heads, or pass it to Kenzo for a fiery bicycle kick.
Combine those extreme hero powers with real-world soccer tactics to set up epic plays and get the crowd going wild. Mix in an easy-to-learn control scheme to tackle, tap, pass, and aim jaw-dropping scoring kicks, all in the midst of the zaniest soccer action ever seen on Earth. Start playing for free with rotating heroes, purchase the Founder’s Pack to unlock all current and future heroes, and earn coins for skins, emotes, and other cosmetics – no pay-to-win here.
Run Games president Michael Marzola said this about the title:
“A lot of us at Run Games are life-long soccer players, and Football Heroes League reflects our love of the game. We wanted to take what we love about soccer – the tactics and excitement and spectacle of it – and combine it with our love of arcade sports games and hero shooters. Soccer is for everybody, and we think this is a perfect way for old-school fans and newcomers alike to enjoy it together.”
