CyberSports' massively multiplayer online game Football Superstars is set to be released at retail in the third quarter of 2009.
Featuring a persistent online world, where users control a single player rather than a whole team, the game has previously only been available as a free online download.
The boxed retail version will be sold for GBP 19.99 and will include new features such as an increased variety of game modes, new training options and the chance to buy licensed items from Puma and Reebok.
"We already have over 300,000 registered users with the free-to-play version, however by introducing it to a new gaming audience through retail we feel that this will massively benefit the experience for all players," said CyberSports head of sales and marketing Phil Booker.
A premium edition of the game will include three months subscription, 40 Football Superstars bonds, four unique skills and exclusive licensed Puma sportswear.
"We are really excited to be in a position to offer a retail product and have some unique content appealing to both existing and new players alike making the box quite a collectors item," said creative director Steve Marshall.
