EA Sports FC 24 Announced, Available for Preorder Now

EA took the wraps off of its new “EA Sports FC” brand today by announcing the details of its first entry, EA Sports FC 24, set for release on September 29, 2023.

According to the company, EA Sports FC 24 is home to new technologies and directions for the EA Sports franchise.

EA SPORTS has changed the way people play and enjoy football, and new, cutting-edge technologies will see EA SPORTS FC™ 24 deliver unparalleled realism in every match. EA SPORTS FC™ 24 will include:

• HyperMotionV is our biggest leap forward in realism to-date, translating the rhythm and fluidity of real-world football into The World’s Game using volumetric data from more than 180 professional men’s and women’s football matches that allows us to reflect real-world movement in-game more than ever before.
• PlayStyles optimised by Opta dimensionalises athletes, going beyond overall ratings to bring to life the on-pitch abilities that make players special. Each PlayStyle gives players unique capabilities you’ll see and feel that make their way of playing more authentic.
• An enhanced Frostbite™ Engine delivers The World’s Game in lifelike detail, bringing a new level of immersion through redesigned player models, smoother animations and visibly unique characteristics that make each player special. Kits now move like real-world materials, reacting to a player’s stride, shifting as they change direction, and flowing along with them as they play.

EA notes in their press release that HyperMotionV will not be available on Nintendo Switch, presumably due to technical limitations related to the system’s hardware.

EA Sports FC 24 also features Erling Haaland as its first ever cover star.

Additionally, the game will also bring men and women’s football together to “play on the same pitch for the first time,” as part of a “broader commitment to women’s football.” The company says that players “will be able to experience brand-new Ultimate Team™ features, including welcoming women footballers to the pitch for the first time in Ultimate Team™ for players to craft their dream XI.”

The game is available for pre-order from the eShop now, priced at $59.99 USD.
