Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This is Rebellion’s first Early Access game. We chose this route for Speedball because we understand that the series has an existing, passionate fanbase and we wanted to make sure they are involved in the game’s development journey. We are looking forward to speaking with fans, seeing their reactions and building a game that everyone can be proud of.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Speedball to be in Early Access for around 12 months. However, this timeline may vary depending on community feedback to the features and content that are added during the Early Access period.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Speedball will have far more content, game modes, and features than the Early Access version. Planned features include team management and draft system, player and manager progression, skill-based matchmaking and leaderboards, new cosmetics, skins and arenas and more. These will be added throughout the Early Access period in line with player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The launch version of Speedball in Early Access includes the standard single player and multiplayer matches, both offline and online. Single player lets you hone your skills against AI opponents. Online multiplayer will let you play games of Speedball against other players from around the world, while offline play lets you take on a friend from the comfort of your own sofa.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The purchase price of Speedball will increase in increments throughout the Early Access period as new content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community will be vital in shaping Speedball as it progresses through Early Access. We have created a dedicated Discord Server for Speedball where you can post your feedback and suggestions. We want your ideas on everything from gameplay mechanics and content, right through to bug reporting and the game modes you want to see in the final version. This will be the best place to receive updates on the game’s progress, so we encourage everyone to join and take part.”

About This Game

A brand new entry into the legendary Bitmap Brothers series! Venture into the grim future of 2138 where mega-corporations use Speedball to distract the downtrodden masses from their miserable lives.

Once an underground sport reviled for its brutality, Speedball has risen to unprecedented heights of popularity and profitability.

It is the only sport that allows two cybernetically augmented teams to go head-to-head at levels of speed and violence beyond human limitations, where any moment could be a player’s last. 

 

BRUTALITY

Listen to the roar of the crowd and the crunch of broken bones as you engage in a brutal match-up with visceral takedowns.

Sit back and watch as medbots drag your battered and beaten opponents out of the arena. It could be any player’s last match of Speedball!

 

SPEED

Whether playing singleplayer, online, or against a friend in couch play, Speedball is fast-paced, explosive and unpredictable. You will need to master high-speed passing, coordination and shooting if you’re to climb to the top of the underground world of Speedball.

 

STRATEGY

Select, position and organise your players based on their strengths, weaknesses and cybernetic augmentations. Will your team be known for all-out aggression, or will you develop a defensive powerhouse?

 

Key features:

  • Incredible fast-paced matches that are explosive and unpredictable

  • Face off in a brutal, no-holds-barred futuresport featuring a wide range of teams and arenas

  • Take advantage of arena specific obstacles and abilities to gain the upper hand against your opponents

  • Arcade-style matches come together with sports management strategy

  • Organize a team that fits your playstyle based on their individual traits and talents 

  • Hone your skills against the AI and then compete online or against a friend locally

 

Speedball is the continuation of the iconic Bitmap Brothers series, first released in 1988.
