Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Winning Streak Games have announced We Are Football, a new football manager game coming to PC via Steam on June 10.
We Are Football was created by Gerald Kohler and his team, the creative mind behind the On The Ball and Football Manager franchises, and puts players in charge of their dream team.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
As a manager and trainer in We Are Football, you’ll come face to face with the latest trends in the world of football, experiencing all the emotional highs and lows of your favorite club.
For the first time ever, this modern football manager game also offers a women’s football game mode, featuring all the same functionality as well as many unique gameplay elements. To maintain and ensure the highest quality across all game modes, We Are Football has been developed with experienced football management veterans such as Gerald Köhler, Rolf Langenberg, and Dirk Winter.
You’ll get immediate feedback for every decision, big and small. You’ll have to plan out your deadlines effectively in the game, and will only be truly successful in the club by working together with your colleagues.
We Are Football focuses on real management tasks. The goal of the game is to build up the club over the long haul, including growing the team, colleagues, infrastructure, fans, and more. As a result, the football players in the game are individual personalities who spin their own stories.
A season can be played through in a few hours: You’re in the middle of the action after just a few minutes. Alone, several seasons can be played through in one afternoon, and two players can even finish a season in an evening.
There’s always new challenges to face in We Are Football. The bigger the club, the bigger the challenge!
