Wild Card Football is described as “7-on-7 pigskin action with bombastic moves, style, and energy.” Since it is an arcade-style football game, it also lets players perform a number of special move, abilities, and other powers that would never be found in a sim-like title.
Perhaps the most notable thing about Wild Card Football is that it is officially licensed by the NFLPA, which means that some of the biggest names in football will be in the title. Wild Card Football also prominently features Colin Kaepernick, who is the former quarterback of the San Franciso 49ers. Kaepernick is seen front-and-center on the box art for Wild Card Football which also contains players such as Justin Jefferson, Patrick Mahomes, TJ Watt, and Jalen Hurts.
“We set out to create a fast and fun experience that’s pure adrenaline! Wild Card Football does just that by putting you in the cleats of your favorite pro players and ratcheting up the intensity with awesome new gameplay elements,” said Saber Interactive boss Tim Willits in an accompany statement. “Our collaboration with the NFLPA and OneTeam has been instrumental in bringing our vision to life. Their expertise and support have helped us put a fresh twist on football. We can’t wait for fans to build their dream teams and see how they stack up against other squads.”
