Wild Card Football launches Oct. 10 for PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox. Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick stars with hundreds of other current pros.
Colin Kaepernick? More like Colin Kaiju-nick amirite?

Well, anyway, the former NFL quarterback who led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl in 2013 stars in Saber Interactive’s latest arcade-style sports joint, Wild Card Football, coming Oct. 10 to everything — Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
Wild Card Football is a 7-on-7 throwdown jacked with zany power-ups, such as Kaepernick growing super-size and stomping the hell out of the defense. A news release on Thursday said Kaepernick will be joined by “hundreds of genuine pro players,” meaning Saber got an NFL Players Association group license, but it doesn’t have the National Football League license.
With flying saucers hovering over one field, and Niagara Falls pouring over another, it doesn’t sound like the game will miss much without the staid and stodgy NFL shield.
