The NFL is turning back the clock as it moves toward the future of video games.
The league and 2K announced a multiyear partnership in a Tuesday press release, revealing they will join forces to revive an old pairing that has not been in place since 2004. There were no details regarding specific game titles and release dates for the multiple future non-simulation football video games to come, but 2K said the projects will launch in 2021.
While the EA Sports Madden series has dominated the football video game landscape for years, the NFL 2K franchise was well acclaimed when it ran from 1999 through 2004.
