Its island code is 4481-0077-4190. The main activity, Touchdown Rush, turns football into a multiplayer payload-push contest; the island also features an obstacle course and a UFC-themed box-fight mode. The available official sources establish its launch-era details, but do not confirm whether the island is currently playable.

Touchdown Rush
Touchdown Rush is the centerpiece: a competitive multiplayer payload-push mode in which players move a large football downfield to score. It borrows the objective-based push format rather than simulating a conventional football game. Meta4 Interactive

Who made it?
The developer’s launch description credits Meta4 Interactive’s work and describes support from ESPN, Epic Games, Disney Games and Super League’s go-to-market team. ESPN’s later Basketball Island announcement credits ESPN, Disney Games, Epic Games and Meta4 Interactive and says that experience was made with Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). Those follow-on credits do not, by themselves, establish every production detail of Football Island. Meta4 Interactive ESPN Press Room
