Ubisoft is teaming up with the National Football League and the National Football League Players Association on NFL Primetime Fantasy, a new mobile free-to-play fantasy-football title. Thanks to the NFL partnership, gameplay will tie in to live games as they happen.
The live tie-in element will allow players to make calls during live NFL games “by anticipating big moments or swapping out players from their bench at the right time,” Ubisoft’s press release says. Players who make the best game-time calls will get major boosts to their fantasy scores, and they can compete online against friends or on a global leaderboard.
The NFL’s VP of video gaming Ed Kiang says the upcoming mobile title is part of the NFL’s “dedication to offering non-traditional video gaming experiences for our fans,” with NFL Primetime Fantasy marking “the first NFL-licensed mobile game tied to our live games.”
