FIFA 23 is getting its official debut this week with a trailer that will debut on Wednesday, July 20. As part of the announcement, EA Sports also released cover art for the game featuring Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappé and Chelsea women’s forward Sam Cole.
This year’s EA’s football simulation game of the year will
be the last to include the “FIFA” moniker due to a disagreement with global
football body FIFA. In keeping with tradition, we expect the game to launch
sometime in September or October.
EA Sports took to Twitter to reveal the official cover art
for the game FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition (the most expensive one), including a
pack that rewards Legends and Ultimate Team components. This year is also the
third time since FIFA 21 that Kylian Mbappe has been on the cover for the third
time in a row, and he is considered one of the best men’s football players in
the world right now.
Sam Kerr, on the other hand, was featured on the cover for
the first time – further emphasising the inclusion of a Women’s World Cup
section in the latest issue. The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is hosted by
Australia and New Zealand.
Video game journalist Tom Henderson previously revealed via
XFire that FIFA 23 will include both men’s and women’s World Cup modes, with EA
expanding its licensing partnership across all major leagues.
However, the Russian national team and club will be excluded
in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The leak also suggests that the
latest soccer sim will support cross-play across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Support will be enabled for both online and co-op modes.
EA Sports is launching a new trailer this week showing off
some new improvements, including Hypermotion technology, which is described as
the next generation of motion capture technology that combines real-life 11v11
recordings with machine learning to deliver lifelike action.
In the report, Henderson also claimed that the technology
has been enhanced “tenfold” and allows developers to capture animations from
real games via stadium cameras. Volta (5-a-side), Pro Club and Career Mode are
also expected to return.
As mentioned, this will be the last time EA will associate
itself with the “FIFA” label due to financial disputes. FIFA’s branding and
licensing turned out to be so expensive that EA Sports was ordered to pay $2.5
billion over the next 10 years. The current contract will end next summer,
after which the team will be renamed EA Sports FC.
However, EA Sports will continue to retain licenses for all
players, clubs, stadiums and approximately 30 in-game leagues including the
Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga.
