If trading tactical card battlers are generally more focused on magic (Hearthstone) or superheroes (Marvel Snap), now Take-Two wants to invest in this sector via American football with NFL 2K Playmakers. The mobile card game will allow players to create a deck and face opponents using players from the prestigious North American league, the NFL. While we are still waiting for their arcade game based on this sport, 2K seems to choose a completely different path, with a title mixing gacha and online betting.

The game will therefore use the official NFL license, with the presence of the league's superstars and the 32 teams. For the moment, the studio has not communicated on the possibility of using former NFL legends, as is the case in the MUT mode of Madden NFL 24 For example. Note that it will also be possible to bet on the results of matches for the 2024-2025 season, in order to obtain exclusive in-game rewards.
