In a trailblazing move, EA Sports has given us a sneak peek at their latest gaming venture, EA FC 24, hinting at a revolutionary prospect – combining men’s and women’s teams in a single match.
The Ground-Breaking Ultimate Edition Cover of EA FC 24
Today, the anticipation for EA FC 24 reached an all-time high as EA Sports unveiled the much-awaited announcement trailer. In a double delight, the company also pulled back the covers of the EA FC 24 Ultimate Edition, showcasing a delightful hodgepodge of 31 players. Manchester City’s gem, Erling Haaland, occupies the centre spot, oozing confidence and flair.
The EA FC 24 Ultimate Edition flaunts a new cover style, a novelty in EA’s football gaming series. EA Sports still remain tight-lipped about the release date despite some leaks. However, the unveiling of the Ultimate Edition affirms the existence of two game versions – a Standard and Ultimate Edition. Breaking away from tradition, Kylian Mbappe is conspicuously missing from the cover, giving way to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, who takes the spotlight.
The cover design resembles a jovial team photo, with Haaland being the centre of attraction. He’s flanked by a fascinating blend of men and women, past and present players, including Vinicius Junior and Sam Kerr. Football legends like David Beckham, Pele, Zinedine Zidane, Rudi Voller, Andreas Pirlo, Ronaldinho, Johan Cruyff, and Didier Drogba also make an appearance.
In the mix of Premier League sensations, we find the likes of Heung-Min Son, Virgil van Dijk, Alexander Isak, Marcus Rashford, and the uniquely distinctive Bukayo Saka, all adding their flair to the spectacle. Interestingly, the cover seems to verify the rumours of the inclusion of women’s Icons in EA FC 24. England’s Alex Scott and USA’s Mia Hamm grace the cover, hinting at a groundbreaking inclusion.
Breaking Down the EA FC 24 Announcement Trailer
The EA FC 24 official trailer sets it apart from previous FIFA title trailers. Shot entirely using EA SPORTS’ Frostbite Engine, the trailer gives a stunning demonstration of the state-of-the-art technology powering EA FC 24.
Emmy-winning British actor Daniel Kaluuya adds his charismatic touch as the narrator. The trailer depicts both male and female footballers from various eras casually interacting in a stadium changing room. The hyper-realistic movements of the players hint at the potential for compelling cut scenes in EA FC 24.
EA FC 24: Embracing Diversity on the Digital Pitch
EA FC 24 marks the dawn of a new era in EA’s football gaming universe. The Ultimate Edition cover and announcement trailer suggest a seismic shift, not just boosting the representation of women’s football, but also potentially blending men’s and women’s teams.
This innovative approach has never been taken in any previous EA football games, marking EA’s exciting new journey post their split with FIFA last year.
