Soccer Story Is An Open World Football RPG With Balls; Coming Soon For Nintendo Switch

Publisher No More Robots and developer PanicBarn are releasing a new game involving football. No, not American football; the REAL kind.

Both publisher and developer have unveiled Soccer Story, a comedic-tone open-world RPG about solving puzzles and saving the world with your magic soccer ball. The game will be out on Nintendo Switch later in 2022; no other consoles or even a PC release has been made official yet. Here’s the official description:

“It’s time to head out and kick that ball all over the place, solving puzzles and problems that require a good smash with a soccer ball. Along the way, you’ll need to best bad guys in 1v1s, compete in a range of different sports (with your soccer ball, of course), and sometimes use your brain just as much as your balls In a world that has long forgotten The Beautiful Game, can you remind them why soccer is top of the table, and best the most formidable teams, including the local toddlers and a group of sharks?”

Soccer Story features goal-oriented quests and side-missions to complete over 15+ hours of gameplay. If this piques your interest, you can sign up for the game’s beta here. Check out the intro trailer below, featuring 2D pixel graphics and a lot of ball-kicking.
