FIFA plans to enter its own ‘one and only’ soccer match against EA Sport FC

FIFA and Electronic Arts will go their separate ways as of 2024 and end their long-standing partnership. As already known, the most successful video game in Germany every year will be sold under the name EA Sports FC in the future. In the same breath, the world football association also spoke up and revealed its own plans in gaming through FIFA President Gianni Infantino – and they are really tough.

FIFA wants to produce “the BEST” football game forever

Infantino’s most important statement concerns the direct competitor to EA Sports FC. From 2024, FIFA wants to launch the “only authentic” football simulation under a new, as yet unknown publisher and developer. Below is the exact wording:

Little concrete: While we’re likely to get the last common spinoff in September with FIFA 23, developed by EA, there’s a lot of ambiguity from 2024 onwards. Although FIFA claims to deliver the best football simulation for fans every year, it remains unclear what it should look like and who is developing the game within this relatively short period of time.

FIFA wants to release new games before the World Cup

The second, no less explosive statement from FIFA addresses other football games that are to be released before the World Cup is held in Qatar in November 2022. It should be about “non-simulationn games” act.

Release already in the third quarter: According to FIFA, the first of these games will be released in a few months and will cover the World Cup in Qatar, with “deliver new interactive experiences for fans worldwide”.

But that’s not all. More games and “virtual experiencesProjects regarding the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand are also to be discussed with publishers who have not been named. Here, too, we have no concrete plans apart from these vague statements.

Will FIFA be able to offer the best football game from 2024, what is your opinion on the subject?
