The official release of FIFA 22 is getting closer and closer, and fans are beginning to wonder whether we'll see a FIFA 22 Demo this year.
So, check out everything we know so far below.
Latest - FIFA 22's new engine
FIFA 17 was the first game to make use of EA’s Frostbite Engine.

EA opted to stick to the Frostbite Engine for FIFA 21, as well as other recent games such as Need for Speed Heat, due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
This could signal that a new engine is waiting in the wings or at the very least being prepped for the new console generation.
A new engine for EA's next title could mean improvements to FIFA of an unprecedented degree.
Demo
Will we see a FIFA 22 Demo? We fully expect to, despite the heartbreak of last year's cancellation.
