Speedball 2 Tournament

The game features fully customizable male, female and droid players, and a virtual marketplace for unlockable in-game content. It also features live streaming of ranked matches, as well as live sports commentary and developer interviews.

The game also features a subscriber-based "Gold" mode in which players are granted access to worldwide officially ranked leagues.

Public interest in a modern remake of Speedball 2 was rekindled by a high-profile Half-Life 2 modification, SourceBall.^[1] The SourceBall project began development in November 2004,^[2] and garnered interest from both Valve (many of whom claimed to be fans of the original Speedball 2), and from Mike Montgomery of The Bitmap Brothers. SourceBall was featured in a Steam News article broadcast to the Steam community, and was used by Valve in their 2005 presentation at The Gathering in Norway. Following a change of leadership in early 2006, development on the SourceBall project ended, but public demand for a new version of Speedball 2 remained high.

In October 2006, Frogster Interactive secured the rights to remake Speedball 2. For the production of Speedball 2, Kylotonn assembled a new team of game designers and programmers. As eminent advisor and lead producer, Mike Montgomery from Bitmap Brothers was a supervisor in the development of the game. The title was later changed to Speedball 2 Tournament.^[3]

Frogster Interactive Pictures released the game via Steam in November 2007.^[4] The game has since been delisted from Steam,^[5] though no official announcement or justification for this seems to have been published.
