[Belo Horizonte, Brazil] November 11, 2024 — World of Football, developed by the passionate solo developer behind Vault Game Studio in partnership with independent publishing platform indie.io, is set to launch into Early Access on Steam on November 20th, 2024. This physics-based football game (or soccer, depending on where you’re from) challenges players to master raw, skill-driven mechanics, emphasizing teamwork and competitive spirit while fostering a passionate community built during its playtesting phase.
World of Football combines accessibility with depth, using physics-driven mechanics that make it easy to pick up yet challenging to truly master. At its core, the game rewards players who develop precise control and strategic teamplay, whether they're diving into casual matches, teaming up with friends in community-organized events, or testing their skills in competitive online matchmaking. Every match is an opportunity to showcase strategy and finesse.
For those who prefer a solo experience, the game offers a robust offline mode, allowing players to practice with a powerful training editor, enabling players to create custom routines and master advanced skills before stepping into ranked matches.
Players can create their own teams, invite friends to join, and establish a personalized club within the game. They can upload custom emblems and jerseys, set team and fan colors, team names, and acronym, and manage the team roster and invites. This level of control allows players to showcase their unique identity on the field with their teammates.
The Early Access launch is only the beginning for World of Football. The solo developer has laid out an exciting roadmap for future updates and is committed to working closely with the community to shape the game’s future. Players can expect the addition of in-game championships and tournaments, allowing them to compete for glory in structured competitions. The game will also introduce voice chat and replay functionalities, enabling players to communicate with teammates and relive their most memorable moments on the field.
“At its core, World of Football is all about the players, their skills, and teamwork,” shares Rafael Bücker Rapalo, the solo developer behind the project. “Our physics-driven mechanics ensure every move is impactful and under your control, rewarding players who take the time to master the game while emphasizing the importance of a strong team. Whether you’re competing online, playing casually, or practicing offline, I want players to join me in building this game and define the future of the purest competitive football experience—where raw talent, realistic physics, and teamwork decide every match.”
