Eurogamer claim that Speedball 2 Tournament, the new remake of the retro classic Speedball 2 - Brutal Deluxe (1990), will be available via Steam in November.

The gameplay will be familiar to anyone who played the original futuristic sport's game, with the story behind the sport being the same as the orginal Amiga version - the first Speedball league (founded in 2095) fails due to violence and corruption. As the organization gave place to anarchy, the game is forced underground, but five years later, from one attempt to regain public interest, Speedball 2 is born.

This version will feature 2 game modes, classic and advanced, with the latter meaning that you'll have to master more complex moves, such as body checks, in order to win matches. Online they'll be player leagues and a ranking system with a worldwide leaderboard showing the best players.
