Modus games announces a new edition of Maximum Football is on the way, continuing this American (and Canadian) football series that at times has carried the Doug Flutie brand. Besides dropping the diminutive quarterback's endorsement, another change (besides the addition of a PC edition) is the new version will be free-to-play. Word is this will launch into Early Access this (northern) spring on Steam. The new version will also feature spiffy Unreal Engine 5 graphics, as seen in the Announcement Trailer. Here's the playbook:

Maximum Football allows players to take control of their football destiny. Players will have the choice to take on the league with professional or college rule sets. This is your league now. Take charge of your team with Maximum Football’s endless levels of customization. From the roster to logos, jerseys and helmets and even individual pieces of equipment, craft your team exactly how you’d like, and then share it with the community.

Additionally, Maximum Football’s beloved Dynasty Mode is back, allowing players to step in as head coach of their team and build their ideal football program. Draft, recruit and manage the team of your dreams and lead them to greatness.

Ready to go head-to-head in online multiplayer? With the unmatched realism provided by Unreal Engine 5, your battle to the top will feel authentic and exhilarating. Maximum Football also features local competitive and co-op play, allowing football stars to play how they want whenever they want. With brand-new downloadable content to be delivered regularly after launch, there will never be a dull moment. A steady stream of new rule sets, modes, customization options, and features allows Maximum Football to truly be the go-to experience for all football fans.
