Here’s the full announcement:
Electronic Arts Inc. today revealed the next chapter of the world’s game with EA Sports FC 25, launching on September 27, 2024. EA Sports FC continues to build the world’s biggest football platform, with a host of innovations, led by Rush and FC IQ, to deliver the most social and authentic experience to date. The EA Sports FC trailer also made its grand debut, showcasing cover star Jude Bellingham’s globally recognized football prowess through the game’s Frostbite Engine.
“With EA Sports FC 25, we’re strengthening our vision of a fan-first future for football and redefining what’s possible on the pitch with FC IQ, using AI and real-world data to modernize player tactics and complement the power of HyperMotionV and PlayStyles,” said Nick Wlodyka, SVP and Group GM, EA Sports FC. “We’re bringing our fans innovative ways to play with Rush, our most social and engaging experience we’ve ever created, and continuing to craft an authentic representation of the world’s game with the introduction of women’s football into Career Mode.”
EA Sports FC introduces Rush, an all-new 5v5 experience that harnesses the same gameplay controls and true-to-football mechanics of 11v11. Available across Football Ultimate Team, Clubs and Kick-Off, Rush is tailor-made to play with your friends as it allows groups of four to team up and take to the pitch together, with an AI-controlled goalkeeper. As a single player, fast-paced experience in Manager Career, Rush will have you take control of your Youth Academy development throughout the season with new playable 5v5 tournaments.
FC IQ ushers in an overhaul to tactical foundations in every 11v11 match by delivering greater strategic control, while a new AI model, powered by real-world data from some of the greatest teams in football, influences player tactics through all-new Player Roles. A revamp of team tactics and more realistic collective movement modernizes positioning at both ends of the pitch, changing how every team plays – modeled on their real-world style of play – and delivering greater variation from match-to-match.
In Career, Live Start Points puts players at the center of the biggest real-world storylines as they take place, such as taking over a club after mid-season transfers or managerial shifts. Additionally, this year will see women’s football come to Career Mode for the first time ever, achieving parity with men’s football across all game modes and further contributing towards EA Sports FC’s commitment to grow the women’s game.
