Ooh, this is good news. Spoiler: I love NFL Blitz from back in the Dreamcast days. Love it. For those not in the know, it was the NFL, but with proper violence. Then we move along into PC territory with the fantastic Mutant League Football, which was like a mix of Blitz, general NFL, and Games Workshop’s Bloodbowl (without the dice).

The original MFL has been milked for years now, having originally started its life back on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis, but hot news incoming, Mutant League Football 2 has just been announced, and it will be with us before the end of the year. Oh, come on. That’s not Wednesday afternoon news.

I can already see what I will be playing over Christmas. The fact that the team has yet again retained the iconic vocal talents of Tim Kitzrow, who has voiced all these outlandish sports games since NBA Jam and NFL Blitz, also makes me very happy.

“Mutant League is my bastard child that I’ve loved since its inception in the early nineties. And now, against all odds, our small team of passionate and dedicated developers has managed to resurrect it for a new generation,” said Michael Mendheim, Creative Director of Mutant Football League 2. “At its core, it’s fun, hard-hitting, and unpredictable — easy to pick up and play, yet layered with depth and strategy. We’re thrilled that on December 10, 2025, Mutant Football League 2 will bring joy, laughter, and maybe a few bruises among friends to players worldwide.”

Mutant Football League 2 will be released on December 10, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam. Festering fans can pick up the pre-launch edition of the game in Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview at a discounted price of $24.99; at launch, Mutant Football League 2 will cost $29.99.

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. Dirty Trick plays even allow teams to commit bannable atrocities; those poor refs… Nothing and no one is safe. Monster Squad: Choose from over 36 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 4 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 MFL 2, reciting plays and talking all kinds of smack.
