Midway Games, a leading interactive entertainment publisher and developer based out of Chicago, today announced that it has shipped the first-ever story driven football videogame, Blitz: The League, for the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox from Microsoft.
“Blitz: The League is the football videogame that Midway has always wanted to develop given the creative freedom from NFL restrictions,” said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. “As a result, we’ve been able to focus our efforts on developing an entertaining sports game that also leverages the controversy of what happens both between the lines and beyond in professional sports today.”
