We already know the big news when it comes to the long-running FIFA franchise out of Electronic Arts, with 2023 being the first since EA is no longer partnering with football’s governing body for the sport in video game form. Instead, fans will be getting ready to jump into EA Sports FC 24, and the company has revealed its latest tease.
Similar to previous games, EA Sports FC 24 will come in several editions, and in the upcoming Ultimate Edition of the game, its cover will be chocked full of superstars of football from the past, the present, and even the future. The reveal trailer is also boosted by the star power of Daniel Kaluuya, Academy Award-winning actor, producer and writer, who lends his voice to EA’s new venture.
The star-studded cover marks a new era for EA SPORTS, as fans and players will help usher in a new chapter of the world’s game with FC 24 while underlining the global nature of football fandom.
