Commentary from Anthony Hudson, Hamish McLachlan, Daisy Pearce, Daniel Harford, Kelli Underwood and Jason Bennett will accompany all the action, played out at more than 30 detailed stadiums from around the country.

Each player will also have their own unique traits, allowing users to play to the individual strengths of the stars on their team.

The AFL has again teamed up with Big Ant Studios to develop the newest addition to the stable of AFL video games, after Big Ant previously developed the AFL Live game in 2011.

The AFL's executive general manager of customer and commercial, Kylie Rogers, said the League was thrilled to announce the upcoming release of AFL 23.

"The AFL 23 game is a crucial asset for the AFL to connect with our fans off the field – and we look forward to collaborating with Big Ant Studios to deliver the most exciting and authentic AFL gaming experience yet," she said.

Pre-orders for AFL 23 are available now for PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
