FIFA and EA Sports: What you need to know

FIFA: Even without EA, she makes sure her games are still the best for players and football fans

It was one of the big news of the day before. After months of rumors and rumors about a possible separation of Electronic Arts and FIFA, the two entities will definitely go their own way: From 2023, EA’s soccer simulation games will no longer be called FIFA, but EA Sports FC. So FIFA 2023 will be the last game to be so shaped by Electronic Arts.

A future that doesn’t seem to scare the American studio, on the contrary: in his press releasereminds that this is the beginn ing of a new era that will offer the opportunity “create, innovate and evolve

“. He also wants to reassure the players by specifying that the end of this collaboration will have little impact on the content of their next games: EA keeps many other partners (the Premier League, LaLiga, the Bundesliga or still the Serie A) .and will not change the content of its games.In any case, it is the end of a nearly 30-year history (with the release of FIFA International Soccer in 1993, which doesn’t seem to scare FIFA (anymore).

“The FIFA name is the only global and original title”

According to Electronic Arts’ press release announcing the news, the International Football Association it is expressed again. On its official website, it states that it is “diversifying its range of video games and offering new football games“. To this end, she is currently in dialogue with publishers, studios and investors ‘a great new title for 2024”’. Nothing is done yet but FIFA President Gianni Infantino seems confident:

I can assure you that the only authentic and real game that bears the FIFA name will be the best for gamers and football fans. The FIFA name is the only global and original title. FIFA 23, FIFA 24, FIFA 25 and FIFA 26 and so on – the constant is the FIFA name and it will always be THE BEST.”

In any case, it is a real match that is played out between the two entities. As for Electronic Arts, we will have to wait until summer 2023 to see the release of EA Sports FC, the first of the name. On the FIFA side we still have to be patient, but without a doubt it will be worth the wait.
