Just in case you haven\u2019t heard, FIFA has split from EA. More to the point, EA has elected to terminate its partnership with FIFA due to differences regarding the contract. EA, then, set out to create the next major football experience<\/strong> after FIFA 23<\/a>, which will be called EA Sports FC from 2023 onwards. In response or, more likely, retaliation<\/strong>, FIFA\u2019s head honcho, Gianni Infantino, insisted that \u2018the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This statement could be seen as abrasive, given that EA has developed the entire EA FIFA franchise. However, Infantino has a plan to contend with one of the biggest and most successful <\/strong>video game developers in the industry\u2019s history. Whether it’s a good plan or not is yet to be seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part one of Infantino\u2019s plan is to launch a number of \u2018non-simulation games.\u2019 The first of which is this new Roblox title. However, Infantino has stated that FIFA is already engaged in talks<\/strong> with publishers, investors, and studios for the first instalment of the new FIFA football franchise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Roblox game with a trailer<\/a>, called FIFA World, offers \u2018hugely exciting\u2019 features for players of all ages in hopes that Roblox-based interest translates into future sales for the company\u2019s first mainstream game. Roblox is excited about the game. Christina Wootton, the company\u2019s VP of Global partnerships, said: \u2018We believe discovering and enjoying<\/strong> events together with friends from all over the globe is a unique experience that often can’t be replicated in the physical world.\u2019 She tacked on that this game will give FIFA fans access to FIFA football year-round<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one of EA\u2019s reasons for moving on to greener pastures was FIFA\u2019s insistence that games not be released in the off-season. This writer is currently wondering how long any new partnership with FIFA will last.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
