The game is due for release in the first half of 2017.

"So for some time the AFL has identified a need to create a new video game as another entertainment property for footy fans.
"AFL Evolution will deliver a unique experience for footy fans, taking them to the heart of the action in a virtual footy world.
"The AFL is dedicated to supporting Tru Blu Entertainment and Wicked Witch Software in creating a game that is fun to play for AFL fans and keen gamers alike."
In the development of AFL Evolution, AFL players participated in photo shoots taking place at all 18 AFL clubs, with 24 cameras used to simultaneously photograph the players in order to create highly detailed likenesses within the game.
