Originally announcing a summer release for the free-to-play MMOG, London-based publisher Cybersports has revised its schedule to release PC soccer game Football SuperStars in late 2008.

Designed as an virtual world for football fans seeking to live a "top footballer's lifestyle," Football SuperStars enables players to recreate themselves as persistent footballer avatars and play matches in 3, 5, 7, and 11-man teams. All players on the pitch, with the exception of goalkeepers, are controlled by humans, giving both teams freedom to develop their own strategies and play styles.

With each match, players gain attributes and skills to specialize in their chosen playing positions. Players are also paid at the end of every game with Football Superstars' in-game currency, the payout determined by the level of play. An option to buy the game's "bonds" currency with real money is also available for purchasing special privileges and items.

Football Superstars provides two virtual towns, each with gyms, restaurants, bars, and clubs. Training in the gym improves your playing skills, while flirting with the paparazzi enhances your fame and gives you access to exclusive clubs. Players can also buy branded football equipment and designer clothes.
