The FUT Birthday promo is out now in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team and it has now been joined by another event that just might overshadow its launch.
The latest loading screen has not only hinted at potential cards for FUT Birthday but there is an additional one revealing that Prime Icon Moments cards will be joining the game!
Low and behold, EA confirmed this and a bunch of other Prime Icons on Saturday, 5 March! Here's everything we know.
LATEST - All Prime Icon Moments out now!
We finally got confirmation that the FIFA 22 Prime Icon Moments are out now with all waves having been released! In a fairly simple tweet, EA confirmed the arrival alongside an image detailing the cards.
Loading Screen
Many were surprised to see a loading screen revealing Prime Icon Moments cards, as we were already preparing for FUT Birthday to come.
Not only did the loading screen reveal when the cards will be coming, but it also shows off three of the finest players around.
Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of, if not the best, cards around, and it's easy to see why.
98 PAC, 97 SHO and 97 DRI will make his Prime Icon Moments card even harder to stop than his previous versions.
Another man with a 97 OVR rating, Zinedine Zidane will rule the centre of the park, with 93 SHO, 98 PAS and 98 DRI - whatever you do, don't let him get near the box, because he will tear your defence apart.
Ferenc Puskas may only have a 95 OVR rating, but just look at his stats and you will see that he is right up there with the best in the game.
You will certainly score a lot of wonder goals with his 98 SHO!
Release Date
There was thinking that the Prime Icon Moments would be released just after Team of the Year, with leaks suggesting that it could arrive sometime between Friday, 4 February and Friday, 18 February.
News dried up, with other promos occupying us in between, then, out of nowhere, EA dropped a new loading screen confirming the date.
Saturday, 5 March is when you need to prepare for, at 1pm ET / 6pm GMT, when Prime Icon Moments will be released into packs.
Leaked Players
The loading screen confirmed things were coming soon, but there has been much build-up, starting as early as February.
Leaked Prime Icon Moments players started circulating on socials, including this insane looking Cafu card.
Wayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie and Iker Casillas are the other new Icons to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, and you can check out their cards right here.
