Frogster Interactive and Kylotonn Entertainment have gone official announcing that their PC remake of Speedball 2 will be dubbed Speedball 2 - Tournament. According to the official report, a new subtitle has been chosen to reflect the fast-paced multiplayer action that Speedball 2 - Tournament boasts through its innovative community platform. Also, a great server solution and a renowned network middleware build the support gripping multiplayer and tournament
action.

Frogster's remake of Speedball 2 lets PC players select between three distinct player classes. Action aficionados can create their individual team formation from hard-boiled male Gladiators, smart Amazons and resistant Cyborgs.

It has been confirmed that each class differs in visual appearance. However, this isn't the only distinctive feature that the classes feature. Each class also embodies important game-play attributes through the balance of the six fundamental skills: speed, aggressiveness, accuracy, power, resistance and stamina. Team management plays a crucial role in both the single player game and in multiplayer matches, as the game's publisher claims. A careful choice of team members for every position of the line-up can decide between victory or defeat in Speedball 2.

Another important aspect which future gamers of Speedball 2 - Tournament should take into consideration is that they'll also be able to switch from and to an offensive, defensive or counter tactical setup in real-time during the game.

For the production of Speedball 2 - Tournament, developer Kylotonn has assembled a fresh team of experienced game designers and programmers, according to the official report. An eminent advisor and lead producer, Mike Montgomery from the legendary Bitmap Brothers, is supervising the overall development of Speedball 2 - Tournament. Since 1987, when he founded The Bitmap Brothers, Montgomery has been behind the legendary original Speedball, as well as classics like Xenon Megablast, The Chaos Engine, Gods, Cadaver, Magic Pockets and Z, the same piece informs.
