After 30 years, the collaboration between FIFA and publisher Electronic Arts is coming to an end. From 2023, the games will be called "EA Sports FC".

More freedom, NFTs, but no World Cup?

Nothing is to change in the content of "FIFA" or "EA Sports FC". In the announcement EA writes: "Everything you love about our games will be part of EA SPORTS FC". This includes the same modes, leagues, tournaments, clubs and athletes. However, the World Cup might be missing in the future, as that was also part of the deal.

The first "FIFA" was released in 1993 for the Mega Drive and was called "FIFA International Soccer". It was one of many sports games that helped Sega's console succeed over the Super Nintendo, especially in Europe.
