ISBIT Games, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's co-owned studio, gave away very little aside from the sci-fi element and whatever basic plot point Zlatan was setting up. Now, we know that ZL is an arcade sports game, but I admit not one I thought it would be.

Zlatan Legends uses 'Driftball', an intergalactic sport in which you kick a ball through a scrolling arena, racing against the clock and trying not to touch the blue walls. Featuring arena play and hyper-competitive leagues, you can compete with people from all over the world to become a legend.

But, don't worry if you were expecting some sort of management sim. You can still send members of your crew to retrieve crates, get special sponsorships, and level your crew members up to get better swag and missions. Plus, you can improve your own skills to gain an edge on your foes and customise your gear too.

Grab Zlatan Legends free to play on the App Store now. We don't know exactly when the Android version will arrive, but we know it's in development. You can also check out some behind-the-scenes below.
