Culture | Gaming Brushing aside concerns of a make-or-break rebrand, EA Sports FC 24 became the quintessential footy game upon its release last year, but it may have some competition on its hands very soon. If the rumour mill is to be believed, the game everyone thought was the successor to FIFA is set to be challenged by, um, FIFA. Yes, international football ’s governing body is working on its own football game in a bid to recapture the crown from EA after the erstwhile partners fell out over a licensing dispute .
So, can FIFA win back the ball from EA or is it about to score an own goal? Here’s everything we know about the FIFA game, including its possible developer and release date. Speculation is rife that FIFA has picked the studio it wants to make its EA Sports FC killer and could even drop the game in the coming months. Earlier this year, a well-known gaming leaker known as Zuby-Tech claimed 2K Sports, creator of the NBA 2K series, had taken the lead on the next FIFA title.
It seems that Zuby, who previously leaked the PlayStation Portal handheld, may have been on to something as the rumour has been corroborated by a separate source. More recently, a Ghanian video game retailer called Mohplay Inc tweeted: “2K has secured the official license from FIFA to create the next FIFA video game!” Although it originally claimed that FIFA 2K25 was set to land this year, it later clarified that the info was based on industry speculation and not verified information.
