It is well known that FIFA President Gianni Infantino is doing his office with ambitions. The "Best World Cup of Story" in Qatar or a revolution of the entire World Cup rhythm are just two examples of the major visions of the Swiss. Visions that he now seems to expand to the video game market.
successor to EA already at a glance
After FIFA and the long -standing partner EA Sports announced the end of their cooperation, FIFA plans to develop its own football simulation. Nothing concrete is known about partners from the video game industry. According to the announcement, the World Association is already in contact "with leading publishers, media companies and inverstors" and is aiming for cooperation with several parties.
Infantino itself is already setting high standards for the simulation that is to be launched in 2024: "I can assure you that the game that is called FIFA will be the best for players and football fans." With this he would like to open up a new market: "The interactive playing sector and eSport is a way of growth and diversification", with which the association "wants to ensure a wide range of products and occasions for players, fans, members and partners".
FIFA series is continued by name
The 52 -year -old also wants to benefit from the established name: "The name 'FIFA' is the only global original title. FIFA 23, FIFA 24, FIFA 25, FIFA 26 and so on - the constant is the name, who will keep forever and stay the best. " A step that EA Sports had to take as an opportunity to publish his future titles from 2023 under the name "EA Sports FC".
How seriously the FIFA means with its penetration into the video game market is made clear by the fact that the first games are already in development. However, these are not simulations, but not more precise other games.
What these first attempts at the World Association are about in terms of their own video games is likely to be announced promptly. The first titles of FIFA are to be published "in the third quarter of this year".
