A while ago, 2K announced that it would once again be developing NFL games, despite EA basically having the market cornered ever since 2005 when the last 2K NFL game was released. However, as part of the recently released full-year financial report for Take-Two Interactive, the publisher has revealed that the game won't be arriving in fiscal year 2022, meaning we won't be seeing the title until after March 2022 at the latest.
"While we are very excited to once again be working with the NFL and NFLPA, our first title under these new partnerships is no longer expected to be released during fiscal year 2022," said 2K in a statement (via IGN). "2K will have more to share on their plans for our football offerings going forward."
The game by 2K is slated to be a non-simulation experience, leaving the Madden titles as the premier place to enjoy simulation football. Very little else is known about the game other than that, so we'll just have to wait until Take-Two is ready to share more down the line.
