SAINTS have released an arcade game to coincide with their 2020/21 kit launch.
The online game, which has been called ‘Defying the Odds since 1885’ is a nod to the club’s history.
To celebrate their 135th anniversary, having been established in 1885, Saints teamed up with UNIT9 to produce the game.
It features three levels for fans to conquer, each unlocking a different part of the new home kit once complete.
Beginning in 1885 at the club’s inception and leading up to the present day, the levels, which see the player donning consecutive historic kits, represent different eras in the Saints' history.
Kate Lynham, creative director at UNIT9, said: “Capturing Southampton FC’s long history in a retro 8-bit pixel style was no easy feat but the resulting game is a suitably light-hearted and humorous throwback to the team’s most classic moments.
"By including plenty of Easter eggs along the way, Defying the Odds is a sure-fire way to get football fans smiling while promoting the kit in a really fresh way.”
