EA Sports FC Comes: FIFA 23 is the last traditional FIFA

Paukenschlag on the early Tuesday evening: What has been boiling in the rumor mill for many months is now officially confirmed. FIFA 23 will be the last title of the simulation series with a traditional name, from 2023 the football series will be renamed EA Sports FC. Details on the new offshoot will follow in July 2023.

• FIFA 23 should be "the best of all time"

At the same time, however, the all -clear is for all traditionalists: FUT, the career mode, Volta and Pro Clubs should be preserved, and the range of licenses is probably not reduced.

FIFA 23 should be "the best of all time"

EA Sports promises to deliver the "most extensive game of all time" before the paradigm shift to EA Sports FC together with FIFA - FIFA 23. Functions, game modes, clubs, leagues "and much more.
