Mutant League Football (ミュータントリーグ・ フットボール) is a Sega Mega Drive comedy horror American football game developed by Mutant Productions and published by Electronic Arts. First released in the United States in June 1993, the game is most notable for its tongue-in-cheek horror theme, and for being built on the gameplay engine used in the company's previous Madden series. During development it possibly had a working title of Blood & Guts Football.[8]

History

Legacy

This game was followed by Mutant League Hockey. Because of their unique premises, both games have become among the few Electronic Arts games for the Sega Mega Drive to demand high prices on the resale aftermarket.

These games were also used as the basis for an animated series called Mutant League, which aired from 1994 to 1996. Two other games, Mutant League Basketball and Mutant Speed Demons, were planned but never released.

The game re-released for the PlayStation Portable as part of the compilation EA Replay in 2006.

A spiritual successor called Mutant Football League was developed by Digital Dreams Entertainment for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Development was led by Michael Mendheim, the original creator and lead designer of the Mutant League series.

Comic adaptation

Sonic the Comic included "Mutant League" comics strips, based off Mutant League Football. The single story arc was called "Bring Me The Head of Coach Brikka" (issue #31 to issue #36). It's one of the few comic strips in Sonic the Comic that is based off 3rd party game.
