In 2020, Take-Two announced a partnership with the NFL to produce several American football games. These were expected to be « arcade » titles, since the simulation games are developed by Electronic Arts.

Thus, the first NFL 2K Playmakers game arrived on mobile devices in 2024. Unfortunately, players were disappointed, and the project was quickly abandoned. Finally, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, recently stated that another game in development has been canceled.

« What we hoped to see come to fruition creatively didn’t happen. Some of our attempts didn’t work out. »

For now, the publisher hasn’t started production on another NFL game, but remains open to the possibility « if the opportunity arises ».
