News: 'NFL Tour will bring the spectacle of a traveling NFL road show alive.'

From the ashes of the NFL Street series comes EA's new take on "extreme" NFL football with the newly announced NFL Tour for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Coming to those consoles in January 2008, NFL Tour "will bring the spectacle of a traveling NFL road show alive, with intuitive controls, fast-paced gameplay, and visually stunning graphics."

According to EA:

NFL Tour is a new NFL licensed video game that offers players a fun and engaging experience with the NFL and its talented players. Gamers will be able to embark on a fictional NFL road show. With real NFL players as teammates, players will travel across the country to play against each of the NFL teams in newly designed stadiums. As players defeat each of the NFL squads, they come one step closer to winning a NFL contract.

"We are extremely excited about our new arcade football game, NFL Tour, which will provide players with a brand new exciting football experience," said Executive Producer Dale Jackson. "NFL Tour is a fun, action-packed football game that will appeal not only to football enthusiasts, but also to casual gamers."

NFL Tour is being developed by EA Tiburon, the gridiron gods behind the NCAA Football, Madden NFL and NFL Street franchises. We'll have more soon.
