According to a report on Insider-Gaming, EA Sports FC 24, which is the publisher’s new football franchise following the end of its long-running partnership with FIFA, will be revealed in mid-July.
EA Sports FC 24 will apparently be revealed on July 12 or 23, at which point we’ll receive info including the box art and confirmation of pre-orders going live. While a release date has yet to be announced for the game, EA previously said the title would launch during the Q2 2024 FY, which puts it out between August 1, 2023 — October 31, 2023.
In related news, the publishing powerhouse announced in its latest earnings call overnight that FIFA 23 has eclipsed lifetime sales of FIFA 22 in just six months, becoming the most successful launch in the series’ history.
Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA, commented:
EA delivered a strong Q4 with record net bookings, up 11 percent year-over-year, demonstrating the strength of our business. Our teams continue to create high-quality entertainment, fueled by amazing games and deeply engaging live services. We’re excited to continue our momentum, including the highly anticipated launch of EA SPORTS FC later this year.
Speaking of EA Sports FC 24, it has been reported that the game may be the first example of female teams behind included in Ultimate Team mode.
FIFA isn’t retiring to mow the lawn though, as it is working on its own franchise to rival EA Sports FC, which its president said will be the ‘best E-game for any girl or boy.‘
