Press release:
Manchester, November 29th, 2022
Gooooooal!! No More Robots (Descenders, Hypnospace Outlaw) and PanicBarn (Not Tonight) are today officially launching “Soccer Story“, a comedy open-world RPG about saving the world with a soccer ball!
A year after The Calamity tore apart the very foundations of soccer as we know it, Soccer Inc. has taken full control of the sport and has BANNED anyone from even CONSIDERING kicking a ball around. Cristiano Ronaldo? More like, Ronal-no!
Luckily, a magical football has descended from the heavens and has chosen you, The Savior of Soccer, and, –you’ll get a kick out of this – you’ve been tasked with saving the future of the sport and bringing harmony to the world once more.
Of course, there are two offsides to every story, so let’s give the obviously cartoonishly evil soccer-deniers the benefit of the doubt and let the story unfold.
rop your soccer ball and play anywhere! The world is full of goals, puzzles and secrets – it’s up to you to find them!
Play a single-player story full of quirky characters, quests, rogue refs, and wacky soccer-adjacent sports
Build your soccer career and do battle against the fiercest soccer teams like literal sharks, toddlers, old-age pensioners, and ninjas
Save soccer and restore peace and harmony to the world
Grab a friend for a four-player local multiplayer match mode with a full roster of teams and animal captains
