Backyard Baseball '97 Remaster Revealed, Arriving In October On PC

"This was my favorite game growing up," said Playground founder and CEO Lindsay Barnett. "While we're already hard at work on the future of Backyard Sports, we first want to honor the past by restoring the games that started it all for me and so many others--beginning with Backyard Baseball '97."

Last month, Playground announced that Backyard Sports was back but didn't get into details. Now, it's clear everything starts with Backyard Baseball '97. From there, the company plans to work with Mega Cat to expand the franchise on multiple platforms.

The Backyard Sports franchise originally began with Backyard Baseball in 1997 and then included games like Backyard Soccer, Backyard Basketball, and Backyard Football--which the Kelce brothers wanted to revive. The series seemingly ended in 2015 until Playground announced this new relaunch.

Backyard Baseball '97 is now available to wishlist on Steam.
