There’s a new rumour circulating on the Internet saying that FIFA, the omni-sensible football authority has found its video game studio that can compete with EA Sports FC games. There is currently only one major competitor in the field of football simulation which is EA dominating. It appears that FIFA’s plans for developing an alternative product could be on the verge of being implemented.
However, how can you compete with the monopoly that is EA in this particular genre? This is the place 2K Sports the creators of NBA 2K have come into the picture according to the X users @Zuby_Tech who is well-known for leaked images of PlayStation Portal. PlayStation Portal. The report also claims that EA has decided to select 2K to create the next FIFA the next FIFA, but it’s not clear if the project is already in development. This is logical in the event that FIFA had a serious intention of pursuing that FIFA 25 title to come out. FIFA president Gianni Infantino had said last year that licensing news for games would be coming soon, in addition to stating that FIFA 25 will be the first title to compete against EA’s FC titles.
EA and FIFA concluded their long-running partnership for 30 years by releasing FIFA 23 which was the final collaboration game from the two. Infantino was also quoted as saying it was “the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans.”
That brings us to the present where we are, with EA Sports most likely already knowing what they’re going to do with EA FC 25 are, considering that EA Sports has a football game released each year, much like Activision’s Call of Duty franchise. If the earlier comments by Infantino remain true, with no modifications it is possible that there will be a FIFA game coming out next year, to compete with EA’s dominance.
There is no formal confirmation of a partnership among FIFA and 2K, so you should be sure to take this rumour with an equal amount of caution.
