2K Games Is Making A New Sports Franchise, And All Signs Point To Soccer

2K Games Is Making A New Sports Franchise, And All Signs Point To Soccer https://ift.tt/L6MkCan 2K Games has announced the formation of Small Axe Studios, a new developer that it says will be focused on building a new "blockbuster" sports franchise.

Every player can surf across foam--fast if it's your team's color, and much slower if it's the opposing team's. If a player is coated with enough foam, they are immobilized in a giant foam ball.
