News: The first 2K football game in three years is coming this Summer.
2K Sports has announced they are re-entering the football marketplace this Summer with All-Pro Football 2K8. EA Sports has held the exclusive rights to NFL teams and players since 2004, so it's unknown who will populate 2K's new game. Rumors of an "NFL Legends" game have circulated among gamers since EA's announcement.
"Football gamers have been awaiting the return of the 2K series," said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. "All-Pro Football 2K8 will deliver an authentic next generation gridiron experience and we are happy to give fans another choice in the football category."
All-Pro Football 2K8 is scheduled for release this Summer on "next-generation systems."
