Mayan Ball Game is one of the oldest ritualistic sports all across Mesoamerica, dating as far back as 1400BC The Ball Game is called Pok - Ta - Pok in Yucatec Maya, in Nahuatl was called ōllamaliztli.
All mesoamerican cultures had something in common, a Ball Court, it was believed this ritualistic cosmological game in which the ball represents the sun, and the hoop is the center of the Galaxy, courts were considered doorways to the underworld, and it was believed the winning team would get sacrificed at the end of the match.
In Mictlan: The Game it was very important for me to have a Ball Court so i took the painstaking task to recreate one of the most symbolic features of mesoamerican culture.
During Mictlan Game play your gonna be able to see a cinematic re animation of the ball game, ( i still have no idea how i am going to do it lol ) but i wil try my best :)
Also numerous fans have messaged me and are asking me to do a multiplayer campaign, what you think about having them play ball game?
