In response to the latest news on EA officially changing the name of its FIFA series in 2023, FIFA president Gianni Infantino had this to say.
“I can assure you that the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans. The FIFA name is the only global, original title. FIFA 23, FIFA 24, FIFA 25 and FIFA 26, and so on – the constant is the FIFA name and it will remain forever and remain THE BEST.”
“The interactive gaming and esports sector is on a path of unrivalled growth and diversification. FIFA’s strategy is to ensure we can make the most of all future options and ensure a wide range of products and opportunities for gamers, fans, member associations and partners.”
FIFA is currently in talks with major game publishers, media groups, and investors about creating a new FIFA simulation game for 2024. Several new non-simulation games are now in development and will be released in the third quarter of this year.
EA will officially change the name of the FIFA series to EA Sports FC in 2023.
