Despite being just the second EVO of the Thunderstruck promo, it has already become one of the best parts of the event in EA FC 24.

The Hero Upgrade Evolution is now live in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team

The latest Thunderstruck promo has introduced more content than any other Black Friday event in the history of the game. Not only are there a ton of special players in packs, SBCs, objectives, and Store packs up for grabs, but there have also been two distinct Evolutions, with the Hero Upgrade being the latest inclusion and the first instance of Hero items being made available in this new EA FC 24 section.

However, not all Hero cards can be boosted via this path, as there are certain rules and regulations that must be followed when picking your selection, just like any other Evolution in the game.
