Xbox has announced the end of an era for EA x FIFA, and here’s what you can expect from the new EA FC.  

In May 2022, FIFA walked out of the EA headquarters ending an iconic era as their 30-year-long contract with EA finally came to an end. A sad day for FIFA fans, who spent countless hours glued to their screens, scoring thousands of goals against their opponents. EA was quick to think of their next move as they didn’t want to disappoint their massive fanbase. This led to the rebranding and rebirth of the popular soccer game, with Xbox announcing a fresh logo for the community. 

EA rebranded to EA FC may be the new journey for their soccer franchise. Ending their contract with FIFA meant that the developer could not use player licenses from FIFA but can add updates as per their liking. Further, EA published a detailed post, talking about the massive changes coming forth in the upcoming titles. Sadly, this did not sit well with fans, as many remain perplexed.

Can EA FC save the historic FIFA Gaming?

The answer to the question lies with EA and how they go ahead shaping the upcoming games. As many gamers have attested, FIFA did have its fair share of problems but still remained among the top games. For the new logo, EA has taken a trip down memory lane while also sprinkling some significance. For instance, the triangular shape of EA FC, speaks of the tactical importance of triangles in soccer.

“From passing techniques to set plays, the shape has also been woven into the DNA of EA SPORTS football experiences for decades; from the isometric angles of our very first 8-bit experiences and the triangular polygons that make up every pixel of our most modern games, as well the iconic player indicator symbol that appears above every athlete in every match,” said EA in their post.
