EA Sports FC is the brand new game from EA Sports, breaking away from the FIFA brand to begin a new era in the world of football gaming.
The new title will bring a host of major changes, with some of those details already being leaked.
Official information regarding the game drops in July, but until then there are plenty of questions that require an answer.
Once such question surrounds the future of the game on old-generation consoles, and we've got you covered for everything we know about the game's release so far.
Will EA Sports FC 24 be next-gen exclusive?
Right now, there is no indication that EA Sports FC 24 will be a next-gen exclusive game.
However, with the power of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S playing a major role in the implementation of HyperMotion 2.0 in FIFA 23, there's no doubt that certain features will be missing from old-generation consoles.
There is a possibility that EA set a new precedent and snub releases on old-gen consoles, but that would still annex a lot of players from the game, with these new next-gen consoles only recently becoming much easier to obtain.
Right now, the best guess we can make is that EA Sports FC 24 will release on old-gen consoles, with major new features missing due to the machine not possessing the required power.
Given the size and scope of EA's next major release, the possibility of next-gen exclusive certainly lingers in the background.
EA FC Release Date
If EA sticks to its usual sporting schedule, EA Sports FC will likely see a release date on Friday, 29 September 2023, in keeping with the FIFA titles that have gone before.
However, there have been whisperings of an early release date in keeping with the start of the real-life football season. With the 2023/24 Premier League season kicking off on the weekend of Saturday, 12 August, we could see a release date in mid-August instead!
EA FC Brand Reveal
At long last, EA has revealed its new brand vision, identity, and logo for EA Sports FC. The brand design takes inspiration from the iconic shape of triangles in football.
From passing techniques to set plays, the shape is woven into the DNA of football and now EA Sports FC. The EA Sports FC brand is set to debut in over 100 matches across the biggest leagues in the world in the coming days.
Football fans can get their first look at the new brand in the wild when EA Sports FC partners including the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 roll out the FC content.
“This is where the story of EA SPORTS FC begins. We’re building on 30 years of leadership and history creating experiences that bring the global football community together, and continuing to take it into a fan-first future,” said Nick Wlodyka of EA Sports FC.
“EA SPORTS FC will be a symbol for the sport, a symbol of innovation and change, and we’re energized to show our fans more about the future in July.”
