First Official EA FC 24 Trailer

In between celebrity cameos and a whirlwind of chatter from EA’s top brass—CEO Andrew Wilson and EA Sports CEO Cam Weber—EA rolled out its official reveal trailer. The clip was the first taste of EA Sports FC 24, complemented by a slew of successful partnership announcements, geared to keep EA in pole position in the football video game stakes.

Among the announcements, EA has bagged an exclusive deal with the Premier League, promising to “authentically represent” every player, club, and stadium across the FC portfolio. This feat sits alongside an exclusive agreement with UEFA, with both partnerships touted to last for many more match seasons. EA also kicked a “long-term” deal with Spain’s LaLiga into the net, which will grant EA naming rights for both leagues.

Empowering Women: FC 24’s Women’s Football Representation

The latest line-up also includes substantial representation from the world of women’s football. Spain’s Liga F and Germany’s Frauen-Bundesliga will join the ranks alongside the Barclays Women’s Super League, Division 1 Arkema, National Women’s Soccer League, and UEFA Women’s Champions League, carrying over from FIFA 23. For the first time, women’s football will also feature in Ultimate Team.

The Tech Trifecta: Hypermotion V, Frostbite Engine

After announcing these critical partnerships, EA moved onto the main event—discussing EA Sports FC 24 itself. The game will be built on a “trinity of technology” that includes Hypermotion V, the Frostbite Engine, and Play Styles. Hypermotion V promises to bring EA’s “most precise animations ever” to life, leveraging data from over 180 matches.

The Frostbite Engine, in turn, will boast new features such as GPU cloth, Sapient Technology (proclaiming ten-fold precision in player body forms), and an immersive match day experience with dynamic introductions and menu displays. The third component, Play Styles, developed with Opta, will ensure that every footballer’s signature skills are incorporated in-game.
