NFL Rivals, the officially licensed video game of the National Football League and the National Football League Players Association announced today the launch of its second season, dubbed Year 2. Y2 will launch to coincide with the NFL Kickoff on September 5, 2024, and is set to be an exciting milestone in mobile sports gaming.
Following a massively successful inaugural season that saw over 5 million downloads, and more than 115 million games played, NFL Rivals is poised to elevate its success even further with a host of new features and updates. Building on the strong foundation of its first year, the game is set to offer players an enriched gaming experience and a range of innovative additions.
In Year 2, NFL Rivals promises to deliver an even more immersive experience with the introduction of new gameplay modes, distinctive pack drops and offerings and incredible partnerships, along with a community refresh providing fresh opportunities for fans to engage with their favorite sport in novel ways.
“As we enter the second year of our partnership with Mythical Games, we look back at the incredible first year of NFL Rivals and the success the game achieved worldwide,” said Ed Kiang, vice president of video gaming at the NFL. “Leveraging that momentum, Y2 will draw fans further into the realm of being a general manager of an NFL team with improved arcade-style gameplay and updates that continue to provide fans with ownership over their gaming experience.”
“The magic of NFL Rivals lies in the way it brings fans closer to the game they love, and at the heart of this journey are the NFL players themselves. It’s their skills and authenticity that make it so much fun and engaging for millions of fans around the world. This unique connection is what fuels the game’s success and drives its growth, and we’re excited to watch it evolve as more fans join in on the fun,” said Sophie Gage, VP, Business & Legal Affairs at NFL Players Inc, the marketing and licensing arm of the NFLPA.
Recently, NFL Rivals announced a new partnership with Super Bowl LVIII Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. The partnership, which will also launch at the start of the 2024 NFL season, is a part of NFL Rivals’ ongoing efforts to reach fans and further enhance the connection between the mobile game and football excitement on the field.
“Year 2 of NFL Rivals is going to be a game-changer,” said Billy Schautz, the executive producer of NFL Rivals. “With the upcoming release of our multiplayer mode, and the expansion of our Synergy System, fans have new and fun ways to play; and with the introduction of the ‘Road to the Playoffs’ and its season-long ‘reward road’, during the 2024 NFL season, we’re raising the bar and setting a new standard for sports gaming as a whole.”
