Blood-Soaked Arcade Sports Game Revival Mutant Football League 2 Launches on Consoles and PC

Digital Dreams’ Spiritual Successor to Sega Genesis Cult Classic “Mutant League Football” Takes the Franchise to the Next Level; Pre-Orders Open for Official MFL Merch from Bull Airs

Digital Dreams Entertainment Inc. — a studio founded by the freaks behind SSX on Tour, FIFA Street 2, Need for Speed: Pro-Street, and Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes — is thrilled to announce the launch of its over-the-top, blood-soaked arcade-style football game, Mutant Football League 2, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC. This ain’t your parents’ football game or a bloated simulation; Mutant Football League 2 trades realism for brutality, dark comedy, and 8-on-8 arcade-style action. It’s ALL GUTS, ALL GLORY.

See you in the arena, mutant!

Mutant Football League 2 is a modern homage to classic arcade-style games of the past, serving as a successor to the 2017 cult classic Mutant Football League created by Michael Mendheim, the mind also behind Electronic Arts’ ‘90s Sega Genesis hits Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey.

Your running back broke through their defense? Not quite — that pesky spike trap caught him. The star cornerback is shutting down your wide receiver? Bomb him! The ref made a bad call? I mean, what else is new? But still, you can kill him. Mutant Football League 2 takes the mechanics and controls of AAA football games, but turns everything upside down in the most monstrous ways.

“MFL2 is bigger, faster, and nastier than ever,” said Michael Mendheim, Creative Director of Mutant Football League 2. “We rebuilt the graphics, gave every player a unique badass look, and added full team and field creation — because why not let fans design their own field of screams?”

Mendheim continued, “Tim Kitzrow’s back with laugh-out-loud commentary, and we’re already gearing up to add more content. This game is a labor of love from a tiny but mighty team and the best community in mutant sports. We’re bringing fans a blitz package of pure mayhem and crazy fun.”

This “anti-Madden” blends the pick-up-and-play accessibility of arcade sports games with strategic depth and a buttload of monstrous mayhem. In Mutant Football League 2, teams of Mutated Super-Humans, Monstrous Orcs, Skeletal Deadheads, and Armored BruiserBots are pit against each other in fantastical arenas packed with deadly traps and sinister hazards like buzzsaws and giant mutant worms. The right team is your ticket to gridiron glory; It’s up to you to show the world your prowess and become a true MFL legend. Under your guidance, these mutants will rise from scrubs to legends, crushing the competition with style and savagery across Mutant Football League 2’s single-player Season, Dynasty Supreme franchise mode, and online multiplayer. All with legendary voice actor Tim Kitzrow (Boomshakalaka) calling the insane but hilarious play-by-play.

Mutant Football League 2 Key Features:

Bloody Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!: Brace yourself for exploding body parts, comically horrific deaths, and blood splatters that paint the field red. Whether getting blitzed by a rampaging monster or succumbing to a trap-laden end zone, every game is a symphony of unpredictable chaos. Trick plays even allow teams to commit bannable atrocities; those poor refs… Nothing and no one is safe.
Monster Squad: Choose from over 35 MFL teams composed of maniacal mutant versions of pro football superstars — 32 pro-league teams like the Karcass City Creeps, Killadelphia Evils, and Blitzburgh Steelheads, and 3 minor league teams like the Orcs of Hazards and Tokyo Terminators. MFL player cards also unlock historic players who can be signed in Free Agency; So, if you’d prefer to be a special snowflake, you can create an original team and craft a legacy of your own.
Mutantmaxxing: Evolve your mutant baddies to unlock new armor sets, mutations, and weapons such as chainsaws, shotguns, and more. Hell, you can even use SkillRoid Boosts to give your players special abilities during a game. We ain’t natty out here.
Dynasty Supreme: Become the ringleader of the freakshow in MFL2’s franchise mode. Start at the bottom of the league and claw to the top, turning pro by beating the competition across several seasons and winning Mayhem Bowls. Draft rookies every season and train them up to build a powerful roster.
Doom Field Designer: Design your team’s arena, strategically placing lethal hazards and manipulating the weather — buzz saws to trim the competition, fire geysers to turn up the heat, or drop a blizzard on those fools. Make your stadium into the kind of place where only your team loves to play, and everyone else just prays to survive.
The Voice of the MFL: Tim Kitzrow, the iconic voice of your favorite sports franchises — NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, NHL Hitz, and MLB Slugfest — commentates MFL2, reciting plays and talking all kinds of smack. BOOMSHAKALAKA!
