According to an interview with Jon Hare, the designer and producer
for the popular top-down footy game of old, "an all-new 'mid-priced' Sensible Soccer" will launch in Europe
for the PS2, Xbox, and PC by Easter 2006.
Whether it will be released in North America to challenge FIFA and Winning Eleven (aka Pro
Evolution Soccer in Europe) is currently unknown, but there won't be online play.
A shorter brief on the cel-shaded game with enlarged heads (to beat "slow, drab sims") can be found
here.
