Lingerie Football League game in the works

Having tackled the UFC and WWE, video game developer Yuke’s has moved on to another sport: lingerie football.

The studio says it has snagged the rights to create titles based on the Lingerie Football League.

Yuke’s did not provide details on platforms, release date or a potential publisher. The studio’s previous titles based on UFC and WWE were published by THQ.

“This is one of those milestone moments for the LFL further establishing itself as a mainstream sports and entertainment property,” says Mitchell S. Mortaza, founder and chairman of the LFL, in a statement.

“We … feel that there is incredible momentum building behind the LFL and that the sport is perfectly positioned to become the next big franchise in the gaming world,” said Yuke’s CEO Yukinori Taniguchi in a statement on the LFL’s website.

Yuke’s is in search of a fresh franchise after losing the rights to the UFC. Earlier this month, Electronic Arts announced it snagged the UFC license from THQ. Their last title, UFC Undisputed 3, was well received by critics with an average Metacritic score in the mid-80s.

Following a fan vote, the Lingerie Football League (LFL) unveiled the name and logo for St. Louis’ expansion franchise: the St. Louis Saints. More than 8,500 names were submitted to the league for consideration.

The St. Louis Saints will be part of the LFL’s Eastern Conference and compete against the recently named Omaha Heart expansion franchise, as well as the Tampa Breeze, Orlando Fantasy, Baltimore Charm, Philadelphia Passion and Cleveland Crush.

The St. Louis Saints will host the team’s first open tryout Sunday, June 24 at Vetta Sports Club Soccerdome, located at 12320 Old Tesson Road, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The LFL is encouraging prospective players to come prepared to participate in strength, speed, agility and conditioning drills.
