The first game from Scotland’s 532 Design
Football managers beware! The fans are taking charge of the footie in Crowd Legends: Football, the first game from Dundee-based 532 Design.
The game – available from the Apple App Store and Google Play – pits football lovers around the world against each other in daily matches, putting their player picks and team strategy to the test. Uniquely, match results are decided by the opinion of the fans who are playing the game.
Players can also show off their knowledge and move up the leaderboards by correctly predicting the outcome of other people’s matches.
Crowd Legends features real players from around the globe after 532 Design scored a collaboration with FIFPRO™, the body that represents more than 65,000 professional footballers.
Crowd Legends is a once-a-day game with no complicated player ratings or statistics, designed for both casual gamers and hardcore fans who need their daily football fix.
The game is a labour of love for 532 Design’s team who bring decades of experience working on smash hit sports titles for mobile including the BAFTA-winning Championship Manager, Dream League Soccer and Score Hero.
Brian McNicoll, CEO and Founder of 532 Design told the Scottish Games Network:
Being a football fan isn’t just about the 90 minutes each week that your team is on the pitch. We love to talk about our favourite players, debate over strategy, and imagine our dream team lineups. Crowd Legends brings all of that to your mobile and makes every day match day.
Crowd Legends represents a bold new approach for football fans worldwide. By placing opinions at the heart of the game, it offers a fresh and challenging experience that truly tests what fans know about the impact players have on the pitch.
Andrew Orsatti, Commercial Director at FIFPRO, said:
FIFPRO is proud to support and embrace startups like 532 Design who are pushing the boundaries and bringing innovative ideas to the forefront of the football community.
Even before its official launch, the game impressed judges at the Scottish EDGE entrepreneurship competition who awarded 532 Design a £75,000 prize.
The decision to base 532 Design in Dundee reflects the city’s long heritage of game design, as well as the rich pool of talent coming out of the local universities – including the University of Abertay’s Centre for Excellence in Computer Game Education.
Crowd Legends is available to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play in the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, and Poland (fans in other countries can pre-register for updates on availability).
