Insanity-Fueled Pro Jank Footy Set to Launch on August 13, 2026

The highly anticipated Pro Jank Footy, an arcade-oriented take on Australian Rules Football, is just around the corner. Developed by Powerbomb Games and Tinker Town, this project is set to bring a fresh, absurd twist to the classic sport.

Pro Jank Footy draws inspiration from legendary arcade sports classics like NBA Jam and NHL ’94, amplifying the absurdity by rejecting realism and injecting Australian Rules Football with a wild array of insane power-ups. These power-ups include doubling the number of players on your team, introducing a third team mid-match, installing brick walls between the goal posts, using portals, having your dad’s car join the team, or even transforming everyone into footballs.

To mark the announcement, acclaimed Australian animator and filmmaker Michael Cusack has created a launch trailer that showcases the game’s over-the-top style. This is just one of the many names involved in the project that comedy fans may recognize. David Ashby, the co-creator of the comedy series Danger 5, is helming the project, while Aunty Donna’s Broden Kelly has provided the in-game commentary.

“Pro Jank Footy is a love letter to Aussie Rules Footy and our absurd culture,” said Ashby. “Our game hopes to deliver an authentic arcade footy experience fans have hoped for, and an accessible entry point for anyone new to the sport, or for those who have no interest in sport whatsoever.

“It’s a party game made by a very small and talented team out of Adelaide. There’s not a lot to do here except for working for the government, playing professional sport, or making strange things. Somehow, with Pro Jank Footy, we’ve managed to do all three.”

Described as a “throwback to the golden age of arcade sports games”, Pro Jank Footy is designed for solo play, couch multiplayer, and online. The game will be available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch/Switch 2.
