Rebellion Brings Back Age-old Brutal Sport Game Out Now in Early Access with Launch Trailer

Rebellion is taking a detour from their usual Sniper Elite releases to bring back to life a title from the 1980s. Partake in a brutal sport as you join in on Speedball, the official revival of the bloody British sport.

Create a team of cybernetically-enhanced individuals as you join in on the underground-sport-brought-to-the-surface, as mega-corporations share with the downtrodden masses a no-holds-barred sport. Two augmented teams battle for glory as two teams enter the arena... and only one team leaves.

Speedball is out now on Steam's Early Access, as players will be able to join one-on-one matches. Create your team and locate your players depending on their stats and augments, giving you the opportunity to build the team of your dreams. Master passing the ball, brutal takedowns, and high-octane gameplay as you become the winning member... or die trying.

The title will be in early development stages for roughly 12 months, where Rebellion plans to add a host of new mechanics to keep Speedball fresh. From skill-based matchmaking to drafting systems and even a Career Mode, there is more to look forward to with this revival.

You can pick it up for £14.99 and practise your skills against AI opponents before heading online to search for new foes or play locally against your friends. Give the crowd the blood they came to watch.
