Developer fructus temporum and publisher Polden Publishing have released the first devlog for Football Story, their upcoming cozy football RPG and life sim releasing December 4, 2026.

In Football Story, you guide ambitious teenager Rad as he grows from a village kid into a local street football legend across the town of Lumen Bay. Combining sports action with life-simulation elements, you recruit neighborhood kids to build a winning squad, complete training mini-games, and take on local odd jobs – from fixing fences to settling town disputes – to raise your stats and earn community rewards.
The initial devlog reveals how Rad’s journey begins after his dog retrieves a dropped ticket to the Amateur Showdown, granting his team a shot at competing against local pro club the Stormy Cormorants across three distinct districts of the Aggromeration, starting in the diverse Sunny Pan neighborhood.
Football Story launches for PC via Steam on December 4, 2026, with a demo currently available.
