Video Games – No more Mbappe on the cover, where Haaland and Vinicius are: the new ‘FIFA’ revealed, EAFC

Now call it EA Sports Football Club or EAFC. The core soccer video game, FIFA, published by Electronic Arts, will officially be going away this September to make way for its little brother, which was partially unveiled on Monday, July 10th. Rest assured, nothing really changes apart from the name.

He highlighted Haaland, Vinicius and Kerr

Present since the 2021 edition on the cover of the game, Kylian Mbappé is the major absentee from this first edition, called EAFC 24. The PSG striker has been replaced by a trio consisting of Erling Haaland, Vinicius Junior and Sam Kerr. The “ultimate” version of the game will feature a group photo as the cover. And there too, Mbappe does not appear there. Only Marquinhos represents PSG there.

After 30 years of being in the world of video games, the FIFA name is disappearing from the ring. The onerous contract that binds video game giant Electronic Arts to FIFA is already coming to an end this year. From FIFA International Soccer, released in 1993, to FIFA 23, 30 years of history are approaching for virtual soccer fans. But the FIFA name could quickly return elsewhere.
