WITH the World Cup fast approaching, FIFA has teamed up with Roblox.
Roblox is a game you may have heard of, but probably don’t understand, as it’s quite a mystery to most people outside of the community.
FIFA World has lots of games and activities for Roblox players.
Rather than one game, Roblox is more of a game-creation tool, which you can use to make anything your heart desires, within reason.
Occasionally the team behind Roblox will team up to release official games with leading brands, and the next one has just been announced.
This time it’s FIFA that will be coming in to launch the creatively named FIFA World, full of football-themed games and activities.
You can play Adventure Football, which is like minigolf but you kick the ball.
Footbowling is like bowling, but you kick the ball. You may be noticing a theme emerging.
There are also other popular Roblox activities like an obstacle course and a treasure hunt.
Completing these activities will earn currency towards rewards like exclusive customization options and a sticker collection.
Other FIFA sponsors are getting involved too, as you can find both Adidas and Visa content around the world.
If that wasn’t enough there will be Roblox representations of some of today’s top football stars like Lena Oberdorf and Pedri.
If you want to lay back then there’s a big screen in FIFA World that will show original content from FIFA+.
The version at launch is themed around the World Cup in Qatar later this year, but FIFA has promised it will adjust and adapt over time.
They mentioned next year’s Women’s World Cup as an example of events they will promote in FIFA World down the line.
This is just one part in FIFA’s mission statement of “developing new and diverse interactive football experiences for fans”.
FIFA World is available for anyone with a Roblox account to join and play right now.
