After an event with a gameplay reveal, UFL went quiet. The Strikerz Inc. CEO answered questions on Twitter. He gave info on modes and also release announcement.
In January, Strikerz Inc. dropped the curtain: For the first time, the studio showed snippets of gameplay from its new football game, UFL. But the focus of attention was on something else – Cristiano Ronaldo. After Lukaku, De Bruyne and Co, he was announced as the fifth brand ambassador. Also a finger pointing towards EA SPORTS, because: After only two years, he had to make way for Kylian Mbappé on the cover of the FIFA 20 football simulation.
But since that event, UFL has remained quiet except for a gaming session at a trade fair in Abu Dhabi. The time had come for Strikerz CEO Eugene Nashilov to offer some insights in a question-and-answer session on Twitter over the weekend. Among other things, he revealed when the release date will be announced, whether there will be more trailers and what the status of PC compatibility is.
PC would be “complicated matter” – Create-a-Team-Multiplayer?
Because whether the game will also be available on the computer is still written in the stars. This is “a complicated matter”. He would like to tell you more about this in a video if you are interested.
The developers are initially focusing on the online mode. This is a “key part from day one”. However, offline game variants are to follow in the future, as well as more specialised modes.
These could include a create-a-team multiplayer – a mode in which you can create a team with friends. Kind of like in Mario Strikers: Battle League Football. He didn’t want to say whether something like that would also be possible in UFL, but added: “I can say that the answer is at least not ‘no'”. A smiling emoji leaves room for interpretation.
More videos planned – release announcement in August
No demo version is planned, but a closed beta or early access is. He could not say exactly when these test possibilities would start. But it will be more concrete in August, because in that month it will be announced when the game will kick off.
Whether this will still be in 2022 is at least still probable. Until then, Strikerz Inc. will be handing out more videos as an appetiser.
