With plenty of speculation surrounding footballing video games at the moment, fans can't wait to see what GOALs will have to offer.
GOALS is a brand new, free-to-play football game that is on its way, and set to compete with the likes of FIFA, EA Sports FC and eFootball!
Discover all there is to know about when you can get your hands on the brand-new football game.
GOALS Release Date
GOALS is currently in pre-alpha stage, with the game having only been announced on 22 July, 2021.
There’s no confirmed release date as of yet, but a release window has been confirmed, with the full launch hoping to be coming within "the next two years"
We now know that the game will likely be competing with the second instalment in the EA Sports FC franchise, a game about which we currently know very little.
Announcement Trailer
The first announcement trailer dropped on the official GOALS YouTube channel on 14 December 2021.
Watch the official announcement trailer below:
Whilst this trailer offers little insight into gameplay elements, we are expecting a separate trailer to arrive in the coming months.
The announcement trailer stresses that the game is “esports ready,” so we look forward to seeing what this really means in the coming weeks.
Platforms
Crossplay will be a big feature for GOALS, with the game able to be played on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
We think it's pretty safe to say that GOALS will be made available on both previous Gen and Next Gen consoles.
Price
GOALS has launched with the promise of being free to play for all.
eFootball has recently made the switch to become a free-to-play game, but still includes plenty of opportunities for micro-transactions.
A Different Take
GOALS will feature a market similar to that found in FIFA Ultimate Team, with the difference being that all items will totally belong to the player.
The game’s official website states the following:
“Every asset will be fully owned by the player and can be traded freely on an open marketplace. The choice will be easy when comparing GOALS to other football games: experience better gameplay and get rewarded for your time. Play-AND-earn.”
With the recently announced split between EA Sports and FIFA, this brand-new game may seek the chance to take advantage of the football gaming scene.
