We are about to enter a new era in the world of football gaming, and what better way to start than with this EA FC 24 cover? With EA splitting from FIFA many things have changed.
One big change is coming to the front of the game. Kylian Mbappe has been the face of FIFA games for the last three years, but as the name of the game is changing so is the frontman.
EA FC 24 will have a new face leading the way.
EA Sports FC 24 cover star
The start of this new era will set a precedent for things to come, and if the choice of the cover star is anything to go by EA FC is aiming BIG.
Man City & Norway striker Erling Haaland is the new face of the franchise.
Haaland will grace the cover of the Standard Edition of EA Sports FC 24. Which makes a lot of sense given his record year with Man City and the Treble that he won.
For FIFA 23, Mbappe was joined by Chelsea Women's Sam Kerr on the Ultimate Edition, who made history as the first female player to feature on a global FIFA cover. This year's Ultimate Edition has gone all in though, with 31 cover stars!
Erling Haaland rating in EA FC 24
EA has released the 10-player ratings with dedicated PlayStyles specific to them, and Erling Haaland is one of them! His particular trait is the Power Shot, which we have covered in another piece.
The Norwegian will be 91-rated in EA FC 24, tied with FOUR other players with the highest rating in the game.
Ultimate Edition cover
This year's Ultimate Editon cover features faces past and present, with footballing royalty on display.
From Pele and Zidane to Haaland and Jude Bellingham, there are players from years past and future stars on show.
EA Sports FC release date
EA is sticking to its usual cycle this year, and the official release date is set for Friday, 29 September 2023. That means you've got all weekend to win the Champions League and build your Ultimate Team squad.
If you can't wait that long, then pre-ordering the Ultimate Edition before 22 August will get you a massive SEVEN days of early access. This means you can play from 22 September.
