Surprise! EA will be launching another FIFA title later this year.
EA's flagship series has been covered in mystery these past several months, after the publisher issued a press release in October 2021 stating that it is reviewing its licensing agreement with FIFA.
Earlier in the week, I reported via VGC that EA's CEO, Andrew Wilson, had told staff that it's been 'impeded' by the FIFA brand.
Despite these comments, it seems that EA will be continuing with the FIFA brand for at least this year, with the next title being named FIFA 23.
There has been no indication from sources familiar with the project that FIFA 23 will be free-to-play, despite rumors circulating that it could be the case.
One of the biggest changes to this year's FIFA title though, is that it will feature cross-play for the first time in the series' history, bringing FIFA players across the PlayStation, Xbox and PC platforms together for all of the title's game modes.
