2K Sports today announced their return to the gridiron with All-Pro Football 2K8. The game is promised to include legendary gameplay, innovative features, and visuals gamers have expected from the 2K football series. While concrete details are scarce at the moment, Game Informer Magazine's April issue will have the first look at the game. All-Pro Football 2K8 will be released this Summer.

“Football gamers have been awaiting the return of the 2K series,” said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. “All-Pro Football 2K8 will deliver an authentic next generation gridiron experience and we are happy to give fans another choice in the football category.”

What we've heard through the grapevine is that the title will be based on NFL football legends and Hall Of Fame players. Considering that Electronic Arts has snatched up the official NFL license for the next few years, 2K Sports cannot use players that are currently in the NFL. What exactly 2K Sports has up their sleeve is unknown at this point. Stay tuned.
