EA stated that they have terminated their long-term agreement with FIFA and that their next game in the series would be named EA SPORTS FC.
The business confirmed the name change and their continued dedication to the extremely popular football game on their website. According to the statement, the transfer would be a new start that will enable them to develop, create, and progress. EA states that further details about EA SPORTS FC will be released in the summer of 2023.
We will shortly enter an exciting new phase after almost 30 years of developing genre-defining interactive football experiences.
About EA SPORTS FC
EA SPORTS FC will be the future of football from EA SPORTS starting next year. We’re ready to elevate global football experiences to new heights on behalf of all football fans across the globe, in collaboration with our 300+ licensing partners throughout the sport.
Everything you love about our games will be available in EA SPORTS FC, including the same incredible experiences, modes, leagues, tournaments, clubs, and players. There will be Ultimate Team, Career Mode, Pro Clubs, and VOLTA Football. Our unique license portfolio of over 19,000+ players, 700+ clubs, 100+ stadiums, and 30 leagues, in which we’ve continued to invest for decades, will be available in EA SPORTS FC. This includes unique collaborations with the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and the MLS, among others.
This new independent platform will provide new opportunities for innovation, creation, and evolution. This is much more than a symbol change — as EA SPORTS, we are dedicated to making EA SPORTS FC a symbol of transformation. We are committed to reinvesting meaningfully in the sport, and we are pleased to collaborate with a big and growing number of partners to create new genuine experiences that offer pleasure, diversity, and immersion to a worldwide community of fans. In the next months, I want to provide additional information about these initiatives.
EA SPORTS FC will enable us to actualize this potential and much more…but only after we deliver our most expansive game yet with our existing naming rights partner, FIFA, for another year. We are dedicated to making the next FIFA the finest FIFA title ever, with more features, game modes, World Cup material, clubs, leagues, tournaments, and players than any previous FIFA title.
We’re really eager to work with you to shape the future of global football, and we’ll be glad to provide more information about EA SPORTS FC in Summer 2023. The sport’s future is quite bright, and football fanaticism is spreading to every part of the globe. Global football has been a part of EA SPORTS for over three decades – and we’re guaranteeing that it will be for many more.
We exist to shape the future of football fandom, whether virtual or real, digital or tangible. Thank you for your ongoing assistance.
But still it’s a bold choice to change the beloved title.
