fc 25 devs tease new fifa rival: gaming showdown coming

EA Sports' developers behind FC 25 have expressed a positive view on the potential competition from a new FIFA game being developed by another studio, rumored to be 2K. EA Sports, which launched its FC series after dropping the FIFA license in 2022, believes competition will benefit the players and invigorate the football video game space. The FIFA president confirmed a new game, likely titled FIFA 2K, is in development. EA staff welcome this challenge, seeing it as an opportunity to improve their own offerings and keep the community engaged. This move follows years of EA dominance, especially after Konami's rebranding struggles with eFootball.

Yes, the new FIFA game is expected to generate more competition and potentially enhance the quality of football video games, benefiting players with more choices and innovations.

For decades, EA Sports' FIFA series dominated the football simulation genre, overcoming competition from Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer (PES), which rebranded to eFootball with limited success. If 2K indeed takes over the FIFA license, it will bring its expertise from the NBA 2K series, potentially raising the bar for football video games and challenging EA's new FC series.
