After several months of rumours, the bomb was dropped yesterday: the historic partnership between Electronic Arts and the Fifa. Well almost, because there will still be an ultimate FIFA 23 sign EA This year. The International Federation of Football Association has also made a point of expressing himself on this rupture, by a rather instructive press release.
Already, collaboration on FIFA 23 now only implies “the football simulation-only category” and “a number of new non-simulation games are already in production”. The first will be a “tailor-made” title around the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022“which will bring new interactive experiences to fans around the world”, coming in the third quarter of 2022: this does not remind you of the game LEGO that would develop Sumo Digital for 2K Games ? Other games and virtual experiences around the event will also be launched this year, and projects are also in discussion with publishers for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 next year.
And, above all, within a few months, so-called “simulation” games with the name FIFA will therefore be possible with different publishers and no longer with an exclusive partner. The federation also says it is “currently engaging with major game publishers, media companies and investors with respect to the development ofa major new FIFA simulation football game title for 2024 » : despite the end of the exclusivity, a big production worthy to compete with EA should therefore be launched. And President Gianni Infantino assures him, despite the presence of the competitor EA Sports FC, these will be the stamped games Fifa who will be the best…
I can assure you that the only authentic and real game that bears the FIFA name will be the best available for gamers and football fans. The name FIFA is the only original world title. FIFA 23, FIFA 24, FIFA 25 and FIFA 26, and so on – the constant is the name of FIFA and they will be and remain THE BEST.
The interactive gaming and esports industry is on a path of unparalleled growth and diversification. FIFA’s strategy is to ensure that we can make the most of all future options and secure a wide range of products and opportunities for players, fans, member associations and partners.
It will therefore be necessary to wait 2 years to discover a direct competitor to the new franchise. EA Sports FCbut from which publisher? Konami will he get the brand back for his license Pro Evolution Soccer Where eFootball despite the bitter failure of eFootball 2022 ? The neophyte and free-to-play UFL will he win the bet? Or the Fifa will she trust another player in the market who has not yet tried football games? Case to follow! Until then, FIFA 22 is available from €44.89 on Amazon.co.uk.
