AFL Evolution will be produced by Wicked Witch Software in conjunction with licensee Tru Blu Entertainment, who produced AFL Live 2 in 2013, the most recent major AFL video game.
"For some time the AFL has identified a need to create a new video game as another entertainment property for footy fans," AFL general manager of commercial operations Darren Birch said.
