EA has announced EA Sports FC Mobile, a mobile football game launching on September 26.
FC Mobile is a free update for those who already have FIFA Mobile so there’s no need to redownload, but new players will of course need to download the FC Mobile app to play. Real Madrid and Brazil star Vini Jr. is the FC Mobile cover star.
FC Mobile has authentic running styles, penalty kick stances and celebrations for certain players (Vini Jr. is a given), a “mobile-first and tactile” game speed, a revamped shooting system, a power shot, a knock on dribble, and a hard tackle move.
EA said its mobile community has over 100 million active users, which gives you an idea of just how big FIFA is on mobile. The new FC Mobile trailer is below:
Meanwhile, EA Sports FC Online, which is aimed at the free-to-play PC Asia market, has over 53 million players across Korea, China, Thailand, and Vietnam. EA Sports FC Online is also an official medaled discipline at the XIX Asian Games, set to be held in Hangzhou later this year.
2023 is a big year for EA Sports. Without the FIFA licence, EA FC is EA Sports’ first non-FIFA football video game. Although, as IGN discovered during a recent hands-on preview event, EA Sports FC is FIFA 24 in all but name.
