EA Sports FC unveils first look at the FIFA successor – and more is on its way
EA Sports has unveiled its first look at the series that will surpass FIFA called EA Sports FC.
The game developer had a very public falling out with the football federation last year, reportedly in a dispute over licensing fees.

FIFA reportedly wanted $1billion (£800million) from EA for the use of its name, a fee which EA refused.
Instead, EA Sports decided that FIFA 23 would be the last to carry the FIFA name, and from this year on, a new series called EA Sports FC would start.
Lead gameplay developer Sam Kovlev said the series won’t be “redefined” meaning that FIFA series staples will remain unchanged.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino also said that the federation will create its own series of ‘egames’ with a new developer, starting with FIFA 25.
More in FIFA 23
EA Sports FC will be the first released, and new information, including the logo, has now been announced.
The developer will continue its relationships with leagues like the Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, WSL, NWSL, and CONMEBOL.
Other leagues will also be taking part in the new series, but these are yet to be announced.
It was announced that EA Sports FC will feature 19k real-life players, 700 teams, 30 leagues, and 300 global partners.

This confirms that EA Sports FC will be available on all platforms, but there is no clarification if the Nintendo version will be the same as the others.
EA Sports also announced that more concrete information about the upcoming series would be revealed this July.
This is when we hope to get our first look at the players, and the changes to gameplay.
