Saber Interactive and Playground Games have released a new trailer for Wild Card Football, showing off the arcade-style football game’s approach to a “no rules” game, in a vein similar to the old NFL Blitz titles.
The trailer, narrated by ESPN commentator Chris Berman, shows off a good bit of gameplay, including some wild power-ups, like calling down a UFO to move back a player.
Wild Card Football features 7-on-7 games, with each player having a kind of energy system that allows them to use power-ups and affect the other teams. Here’s an overview of the game’s key features.
- Create Your Dream Team: Choose from hundreds of genuine pro players, reimagined Playgrounds-style, and assemble the ultimate 7-on-7 gridiron squad. Advance through different challenges and events to unlock new players and other exciting rewards.
- Play Your Wild Cards: Unleash over 150 Wild Cards to turn the tide of the game in your favor in an instant. Bust out special moves like summoning walls or invisibility, boost your team’s stats at a crucial moment, or play a Rule-Breaker and flip the rules of the game completely.
- Become a Champion: Prove your skills in single-player Season mode, climb to the top of the leaderboards in competitive online multiplayer with full crossplay, or challenge your friends at home for bragging rights in local multiplayer.
- Customize Your Squad: Personalize your team’s logo, uniforms and colors, choose your home stadium, then build unique playbooks and Wild Card decks to perfect your strategies on the field.
Despite the more arcade-y take on Football, Wild Card will feature a host of prominent NFL players including Kilin Kaepernick, Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, Patrick Mahomes, Ja’marr Chase, Christian McCaffrey, Micah Parsons, Justin Jefferson, and Aaron Donald.
Wild Card Football launches on October 10 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The standard edition will run $39.99, but Deluxe and Ultimate Edition will add in more content with a Season Pass, extra outfits, and card packs.
