Today, Midway Games announced that it is developing a sequel to Blitz: The League. Titled Blitz: The League II, the game will feature football legend Lawrence Taylor along with a story by ESPN Playmakers writer Peter Egan. The game will have new features along with its brutal presentation of America's most popular sport.

"Professional football has long sought to gloss over the often brutal realities that surround the game and its players," said Mona Hamilton, vice president of marketing, Midway Home Entertainment. "Blitz: The League II embraces the most compelling storylines behind America's favorite sport and allows fans to experience them in a bold, interactive way."

Blitz: The League II will release Fall 2008 for PS3 and Xbox 360.
