Joe Montana Football 16 Looks to be a Mobile Game, Utilizing Unreal Engine 4

[Hooe]

Joe Montana tweeted this CG image of himself... Twice, for some reason... with the following hashtags.

Quote:

#youvewaitedlongenough #joemontanafootball16

He then followed it up with a bunch of pictures from the Legends of Candlestick flag football game, which featured retired players (see the full rosters here) with Joe Montana and Dan Marino quarterbacking the respective sides.

The image Montana tweeted doesn't really match up, does it? Could we get a Joe Montana Football 16 announcement in the coming days or is it just wishful thinking?

With the exclusive license still in the hands of EA, if a videogame version of Joe Montana Football does arrive, it won't have any current NFL player names, likeness, etc.

Maybe it will feature retired players, similar to All Pro Football 2K8? Maybe it's going to be a simple mobile game. Your guess is as good as mine at this point.

Either way, if we do see a football game from Joe, with a 16 at the end of the tweet hashtag, we probably won't see it until 2015. Let's hope for the best.

If anything solid comes from this, we'll update everyone.

UPDATE: Thanks to jlfarris (via FaceMask), it does in fact look like a mobile game is in the works, utilizing Unreal Engine 4.

What are your thoughts?

Might have something to do with this. http://legendsofcandlestick.com/

Might not be a damn thing, unfortunately.

I think this is for the Legends of Candlestick v. All-Stars flag football game 2marrow.

Oh well.

Might be for Legends of Candlestick but that image is CG and completely inconsistent with everything else that has to do with Legends of Candlestick. Plus he's used the #legendsofcandlestick hashtag before, but it wasn't part of this.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see if it's something bigger, or just to promote Legends.

It's clearly a CG image. Also, the jersey doesn't match what Montana is wearing for this game at Candlestick.

From Steve Corkran via Twitter. Looks like one team will be in red jerseys and one in white.



Edited to remove the sideways pics. Montana isn't in this pic, but the sideways pic I had earlier was of Montana in a red jersey as well.

It wouldn't be the first time Joe Montana has starred in a video game:



He was also in All-Pro Football 2K8, for whatever that's worth.

His timeline is now filled w/ images for the real-life football game.
