The NFL Blitz franchise is being revived with EA handing off development of a new game to their EA Tiburon studio (Madden series) and will use the NBA Jam announcer for calling the action.

Besides the usual 30-yard downs and 2 minute quarters, EA announced they are expanding and packing in a lot new features for the upcoming game such as a survival mode called Blitz Gauntlet and the use of "Blitz Bucks" as currency for the game.

Similar to Madden cards, Blitz cards will unlock players, teams, cheats, and enhancements which can be used in online and local multiplayer matches.

Also hinted but not detailed was the ability to customize game modes and mutliplayer matches revolving around a "risk-reward" style involving the betting of Blitz cards.

No actual release date was given but EA has said the game will be released around the time of this season's NFL playoffs (early 2012 release date). No platforms were revealed either but its assumed at least an Xbox 360 and PS3 version will be made.
