Midway has announced Blitz: The League, one of its best-selling North American sports titles, for the Xbox 360.

Taking players behind the glitz and glamour of professional American football through a new campaign mode, Blitz: The League explores the on-field violence, off-field fallout and front-office politics feeding the headlines in America’s media spotlight. Unlicensed and uncensored, the new version of Blitz: The League is scheduled for release across Europe on 23rd February.

can create and develop the greatest teams in the league’s history using a wealth of customisable options in an attempt to take their squads to the very top of the standings. An 'unleash' meter in the game also allows players to slow down play and pull off drastic moves, break free of tackles and evade opponent players.

“Blitz: The League is free of the constraints that an official league license levies against games in this sporting genre. The result is about as far removed from a clean, fair, sporting experience as it’s possible to get – one of the many reasons why this game has been such a storming success in the US with sales of 1 million units, and why consumers have demanded we release it in Europe,” says Martin Spiess, Managing Director - Europe, Midway Games.
