Has FIFA 24 release date been announced?

FIFA 23 marks the end of the legendary partnership between EA Sports and FIFA, leaving the future of FIFA 24 up to speculation. The franchise is widely regarded as the pinnacle of sports gaming, having established a massive player base and earned billions over the years. However, gamers will be eager to learn more about how the two entities will proceed with future installments.

Football's popularity translates over to the virtual world as well, with EA Sports maintaining a stronghold over the world of sports gaming with their FIFA franchise. They have developed a winning formula that sells millions of copies every year, and with their partnership with FIFA approaching its conclusion, they have already made plans for how to proceed with the future of the series.

The franchise will be rebranded as EA Sports FC, with the first installment replacing FIFA 24 in EA Sports' catalog. The upcoming title will be called EA Sports FC 24.

Infantino says FIFA will go head-to-head with EA Sports by launching rival video game (EA Sports refused cash demands to keep FIFA's name)
"The new FIFA game - the FIFA 25, 26, 27 and so on - will always be the best egame for any girl or boy, we will have news on this very soon."

Fans will also be excited to learn that FIFA might potentially introduce a new football simulation video game of their own. The end of their partnership with EA does not necessarily indicate their departure from the virtual pitch, especially with FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently announcing that they will soon make significant announcements regarding the same.


What does this mean for the future of FIFA 24?

Based on Infantino's statements, it is entirely possible that FIFA 24 will be produced by a new developer and compete with the much-anticipated EA Sports FC 24. The FIFA President reassured fans with the following remarks:

The new FIFA game - the FIFA 25, 26, 27, and so on - will always be the best egame for any girl or boy, we will have news on this very soon.

This new title will possess all the licenses and rights that FIFA has to offer, which is a promising sign for the future of the new series. With Konami's eFootball (formerly Pro-Evolution Soccer) series failing to provide an adequate alternative to EA Sports over the years, gamers will be excited by this upcoming new prospect.

However, FIFA has revealed any details about the features or release date of its respective video game.
