During EA Sports’ highly anticipated official reveal livestream, the company introduced EA Sports FC 24, the exciting successor to the immensely popular FIFA franchise. This announcement, which was made last year, gave fans their first glimpse into the upcoming EA Sports soccer title.

The spotlight this year is on EA Sports’ advanced technology. The Frostbite engine, developed exclusively by EA, returns with notable enhancements, including the introduction of the groundbreaking Sapien character model skeletons. These skeletons, previously showcased in our Madden NFL 24 coverage, elevate the lifelike appearance of players both in stillness and movement, enhancing the game’s visuals and gameplay. Furthermore, the implementation of Frostbite in this year’s edition introduces GPU cloth technology, creating authentic reactions in players’ kits to reflect real-world materials and player movement. The game elevates the matchday experience with new animations and scenes capturing the action beyond the pitch.

The major technological innovation in this edition is HyperMotionV. This ingenious technology translates the rhythm and fluidity of real-world soccer into EA Sports FC 24. Leveraging HyperMotionV, real-world player movements that aren’t in the game can be captured through volumetric capture and integrated into the game in a matter of days. This groundbreaking feature is exclusively available in the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC versions of EA Sports FC 24.

This year’s game also introduces the PlayStyles system, powered by Opta optimization. PlayStyles goes beyond in-game ratings to bring the unique abilities and playstyles of stars and other players to life. This innovative system aims to deliver a more authentic and immersive experience on the pitch.

EA Sports has also unveiled new leagues joining EA Sports FC 24, including Liga F and Frauen-Bundesliga, alongside established leagues like Laliga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Conmebol Libertadores. Additionally, fans can rejoice as the exclusive partnership with UEFA has been renewed, making EA Sports FC 24 the ultimate destination to enjoy UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women’s Champions League, UEFA Europea League, UEFA Europa Conference League, and UEFA Super Cup. Furthermore, EA Sports FC 24 has secured a long-term renewal with the prestigious Premier League.

Erling Haaland, the shining star of Manchester City, has been announced as the cover star for this year’s edition of EA Sports FC 24. Soccer enthusiasts can mark their calendars as the game is set to launch on September 29 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Players who opt for the Ultimate Edition will gain early access starting from September 22.
