New World Cup content for FIFA 18 seems to be happening and will be released on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The 2018 FIFA World Cup is about a month and a half away, and EA is looking to capitalize through an update for FIFA 18.
Video game distributor US-1 America is listing a new version of FIFA 18 – releasing on Switch – that will include all 32 teams that made the World Cup (players and shirts match their WC uniforms) and the four major teams that did not qualify – USA, Chile, Italy, and Holland. The original game is included, but those who already have it should be able to get the extra content as well.
Some of the finer points are still a bit unclear. It’s assumed that EA will be offering the World Cup content as a free update, though that’s not confirmed at this time. EA should be making an official announcement soon.
