NC Soft and Digital Legends Entertainment today announced their upcoming twist on footy games, Soccer Fury. It's a 3v3 online football game where anything goes and indeed, extreme violence is expected. Speedball meets FIFA Street?

More information is available at www.soccerfury.com, but there doesn't seem to be any potential release date specified anywhere.

Tuesday 25 April 2006/... NCsoft® Europe is pleased to announce its first European development project and the first details on the game resulting from it - Soccer FuryTM.

Created in collaboration with award-winning developer Digital Legends Entertainment, Soccer FuryTM is just one of NCsoft's new multiplayer games that will be part of an online gaming hub at PlayNC.com. All PlayNC titles will be fully-featured, high quality PC games that are playable over the Internet.

Soccer FuryTM is a three-on-three arcade action game combining street soccer with spectacular fighting techniques. Tap into a devastating arsenal of martial arts, trick moves and team tactics as you power your way up the field and tear down the opposition in epic online pitched battles.

No rules. No limits. No mercy. Nothing can stop the frenzied action from reaching fever pitch, as teams compete for wins and fight for goal glory. Played out in the lawless back streets of the urban jungle, Soccer FuryTM players live purely for the passion and recognition that comes with being the best!

Xavier Carrillo Costa, CEO, Executive Producer and Founder, Digital Legends Entertainment said, "We are really excited about our partnership with NCsoft and about pioneering a new segment of videogaming. Soccer FuryTM will be a key element of PlayNC's online games portfolio; integrating soccer, fighting and character evolution to appeal to a large audience."

Thomas Bidaux, Director of Products, NCsoft Europe, said, "We're delighted to be working so closely with such a strong, focused team. NCsoft is hand picking only the finest games for the launch of PlayNC as a games portal and Soccer FuryTM more than meets the standards we're setting."
