NFL and 2K announce a multi-year partnership
New video games will be created by 2K, as EA issues statement
The National Football League (NFL) and 2K today announced a multi-year partnership encompassing multiple future video games.
While specific game titles, developers and release dates will be announced at a later date, 2K confirmed the projects are in early development and will launch starting in calendar year 2021, during Take-Two’s fiscal year 2022.
2K previously published the NFL 2K franchise, which ran from 1999 to 2004, through the Company’s 2K Sports label. Other 2K-published games include NBA 2K, as well as WWE 2K, The Golf Club 2019, Borderlands, BioShock, Mafia, Sid Meier’s Civilization and XCOM.
The new 2K games will be non-simulation football game experiences. EA quickly issued a statement on this deal, confirming that EA SPORTS is the exclusive publisher of NFL simulation games, and the partnership with the NFL and NFLPA remains unchanged for the Madden NFL games going forward.
