Interzone Futebol Announced

Interzone Futebol is a massively multiplayer online sports game featuring team-based multiplayer soccer matches, where every character on the field is controlled by an individual player, even the goalkeepers. Players worldwide will get to customize and manage their own international soccer (or futebol) athelete, competing in matches while improving their character with new skills and moves as they progress. Players will be able to soar through personal and team rankings, earn money from salaries and sponsors, and purchase various items. Interzone Futebol is planned to be released in Q4 of 2008, initially in Portuguese for Brazilian fans, then internationally.

With the upcoming releases of persistent online sports games as Empire of Sports and Football Superstars, be on the lookout for the emergence of a new category of MMOs that’s subtly redefining the genre.
