Announced back in July as a free-to-play rival to EA Sports FC, UFL was due to kick off on September 12th, but the release has now been pushed back until December 5th, with pre-order players getting access on November 28th, says developer Strikerz.
This decision came after feedback with an open beta, which attracted more than two million participants. Strikerz further acknowledged that delaying the game was not an easy choice to make, but it is important if the company is to deliver quality to the players.
This will give extra time to polish and make last-minute adjustments of all the features, especially those touching on gameplay and player satisfaction.
From carefully tuned balance in match-making that would pit players against equally skilled opponents to creating a level playing field where only the most superior ones will have a chance to win, it seems that Strikerz is hard at work, really polishing the mechanics of UFL to fit its philosophy: "fair to play.".
In turn, the studio promised to vindicate these extra three months by polishing the game to meet community expectations. It is a delay for a well-rounded and polished experience to the great standards set by great players and developers themselves.
This will be the real test for UFL to live up to its claim of a competitive, honest, and exciting alternative with which it could rival the titles that already head the lists, like those from EA Sports FC, as the new release date approaches.
