2K Is Developing a New Sports Franchise, With Soccer Strongly Suspected

By GFA Staff · August 15, 2026

2K Games is developing another sports franchise, although the company has not yet formally announced which sport will anchor the project. Current reporting points strongly toward soccer, which would potentially place 2K in a market dominated by EA Sports FC and Konami's eFootball.

The soccer connection should nevertheless be described as a report or informed inference rather than a confirmed product announcement until 2K names the game itself. A serious new competitor would be significant because 2K already operates major licensed sports businesses in basketball and wrestling.

Soccer's enormous international audience would make it an obvious growth opportunity, but the precise licensing model, development studio and release plans remain unknown. View company filings on Take-Two Interactive and track sports gaming news on [GameForceAsia](/news).
