X2 Games, the wholly owned publishing subsidiary of award-winning UK developer Exient Ltd, has today announced that the next instalment in the critically acclaimed X2 Football franchise is currently in the final stages of development.

Commenting on the announcement, Charles Chapman, Technical Director, Said “we were always confident that X2 Football 2009 would be successful, our entire development team are football fans and this, in turn, lead to the creation of a game that met with world-wide acclaim. But we never, ever want to rest on our laurels.” He continued “We've taken on board a lot of feedback from users and have rewritten large parts of the game from the ground up as well as adding more features. Our aim is to ensure that X2 Football 2010 continues in the same tradition that its predecessor set upon first release.”

Des Gayle, Producer, added “with X2 Football 2010 our fans will have to play smarter against improved AI, they will be able to play faster with our 3GS optimizations and they can play more with club teams, online multiplayer, and the all new ‘Dream Team’ mode.”
