Fans of football video games have been eagerly awaiting news of FIFA's next move after parting ways with EA Sports. The latest development comes in the form of a new game called FIFA Rivals, but with a twist - it will not be available on consoles.
FIFA Rivals: What We Know So Far
The teaser trailer for FIFA Rivals left much to the imagination, giving us more glimpses of grasshoppers than actual gameplay. Developed by Mythical Games, the creators of NFL Rivals, FIFA Rivals is set to launch in mid-2025.
Similar to NFL Rivals, FIFA Rivals is expected to involve opening packs of cards to build your team and compete on the virtual pitch. Despite being a mobile game, FIFA Rivals aims to replicate the engagement and monetization strategies seen in traditional console games.
A Step Closer to Competition
While FIFA's previous ventures into NFT 'games' and cryptocurrency apps raised eyebrows, FIFA Rivals represents a more credible effort in the gaming space. Though not the FIFA game fans may have been hoping for, it signals a potential shift towards challenging EA Sports FC.
It remains to be seen how players will respond to FIFA Rivals' free-to-play model and in-game monetization. However, this move marks a significant progression for FIFA in the gaming realm, despite some reservations about the prevalent microtransaction model.
With the future of a major FIFA-licensed game uncertain, FIFA Rivals offers a glimpse into the evolving landscape of football gaming. Stay tuned for more updates on this new gaming contender.
