Eugene Nashilov, CEO of Strikerz, expressed excitement about the launch, stating, “We’re delighted to announce that gamers worldwide will be able to experience UFL first-hand in June. This event marks a significant milestone in our journey, allowing us to gather invaluable feedback from our community and refine the game as we aim to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience when we launch later this year.” Strikerz, which operates under its parent company XTEN Limited, initially teased UFL several years ago during its early development phase.
Further excitement surrounds the game due to high-profile backing, notably from Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, who is not only an investor but also actively involved in the game’s development. Revealed last December, Ronaldo’s involvement has added a layer of authenticity and anticipation to the game’s launch.
