game news FIFA 24 is no more, but its replacement EA Sports FC could be released for a very complicated period
If you’re used to seeing FIFA video game name floating around, you’ll have to get used to the change: the title is now EA Sports FC and the exact release date of the next game may have come from a leaker.
A historical change
FIFA video games have dominated our video game news every year for decades, and Electronic Arts has been at it for generations, finally defeating the all-powerful PES in the early 2000s: Despite everything, all good things come to an end…or rather, a legacy.
Not really happy with his association with FIFA itself, which prevented him from aiming for certain creative heights to believe EA’s words, The publisher therefore announced its separation from the football giant last year. However, the developers remain the same, many partnerships with official licenses remain and the rhythm remains annual: We are therefore eagerly awaiting the reveal of EA Sports FC 24.
Already a release date?
While Electronic Arts hasn’t revealed much yet (oh yes, we have a logo that can be found above), here’s an insider by the name of Billbil-kun, who has revealed many dates, trips, and video games in the past: According to him, FC 24 will be released on September 29, 2023. It’s a rather standard date for a FIFA, even if it’s not officially one anymore – in short, you get the point.
The leaker also allows himself to add a detail of his choice: There would be an Early Access period a week before release, but only for those who reserved the Ultimate Edition.
An already full schedule
By positioning in late September EA Sports FC 24 faces more highly-anticipated tenors: For example, Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty will be out on September 26th, Detective Pikachu Returns on October 6th, Forza Motorsport on October 10th, Assassin’s Creed Mirage on October 12th, Lords of the Fallen on October 13th…
It’s a real bulimia that awaits us at the end of the year:
Of course, FIFAs never really had to fear these opponents, after all they play in a different category and for a different audience. Nevertheless, With a name change that many casual gamers are still unaware of and a significantly late reveal, FC 24 will have to work extra hard to achieve the same result as FIFA 23, namely 10.3 million sales in one week. In stark contrast, all franchises are already well known to the general public.
