EA’s FIFA series, which has been going on for nearly 30 years, is one of the first productions for football game lovers. It is also one of the most followed games with more than 150 million fans. EA’s agreement with FIFA brings to mind the question “Is FIFA 23 the last game of the series?“. Unfortunately, the answer to this is yes.
Is FIFA 23 the latest game in the series?
EA’s latest FIFA game, FIFA 23, released last week, came with its problems. It infuriated gamers with its problems, and the number of people looking for a crashing and crashing solution on FIFA 23 PC increased. This situation, which can be considered a big failure for the last production, has not yet been solved.
So what will EA Sports take next? The company’s manager Cam Weber clarified this with his statement. The game will continue under the name EA SPORTS FC. Since his previous licenses continued, he will only continue on his way with some blood loss. “Our unique licensing portfolio of more than 19,000 players, more than 700 teams, more than 100 stadiums and 30 leagues, in which we have invested and maintained for decades, will continue to be uniquely in EA SPORTS FC,” Weber said in a statement. This includes exclusive partnerships with the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, MLS and more.”
Of course, EA Sports won’t be limited to these licenses. With the end of the FIFA contract, it will increase the number of its licenses and add new countries, leagues, players and stadiums to the production. However, this will be the last game we will see under the name of FIFA. At least from Electronic Arts.
This change will also change some modes in the game. It would not be a lie if we say that “events like the World Cup will not take place in the game.” It will probably be replaced by a different trophy system.
In addition, Weber’s statement guarantees that the new series EA SPORTS FC will continue for decades to come. Of course, the firm will not abandon football productions, one of its most lucrative products. But we don’t know how players will react to this development. At the same time, if another company obtains the FIFA license, we will see together what developments will happen. Because FIFA has already started to look for a company to license the new game .
