FOOTY will return to video game consoles and PCs with confirmation of the upcoming release of AFL Evolution.
AFL Evolution will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (via popular distribution platform Steam) in the first half of 2017.
The game is being developed by Wicked Witch Software in conjunction with licensee Tru Blu Entertainment, who produced the most recent major AFL video game AFL Live 2 in 2013.
Players from all 18 AFL clubs participated in photo shoots for the new game, however in its press release the developers stated that “the best male players” will be featured.
“It’s no secret that the youth market is highly engaged with a variety of digital brands and properties,” AFL general manager of commercial operations Darren Birch said.
“So for some time the AFL has identified a need to create a new video game as another entertainment property for footy fans.
“AFL Evolution will deliver a unique experience for footy fans, taking them to the heart of the action in a virtual footy world.
“The AFL is dedicated to supporting Tru Blu Entertainment and Wicked Witch Software in creating a game that is fun to play for AFL fans and keen gamers alike.”
Fans will also be able to vote for the cover star on the AFL website, with the leading contenders including up-and-coming stars such as Marcus Bontempelli, Isaac Heeney and Tom Lynch.
“We are extremely proud to be releasing another AFL video game,” Tru Blu Entertainment’s Managing Director Sebastian Giompaolo said.
“We have produced a number of games across console, PC and mobile platforms and we’re determined to make AFL Evolution the most enjoyable AFL video game we have released.”

Would have preferred Big Ant got another go but it is what it is.
Yeahright:
Surely can't stuff it with the AFL throwing money at it :sarcasm2

The AFL money is probably the only way they can meet the desired release window. The development time for this will be quite short and the goals are quite ambitious. I'll reserve judgement until they release some gameplay footage.
--- Quote ---We have not announced the feature list yet, but some of the big ones are that there is a career mode to play and manage teams, and a pro mode to play as one player through a career, an online fan hub system and dozens of smaller features such as body shapes, tattoos, grubber kicks, handball lobs, and yes, even socks up or down.

Yeahright:
Grubber kicks and be a pro mode will probably suck me in. When I get it depends on price
