FIFA is one of the most prominent names in sports gaming, and with EA at the helm of these titles for well over two decades, players may be shocked to hear that the partnership between these entertainment giants is coming to an end.
EA announced that after almost thirty years of partnership, they will split with FIFA, taking the name EA SPORTS FC for their long-running sports franchise, effective in 2023. This news hit the internet on the official EA News page and by gaming insider Nibellion on Twitter.
EA assured fans that the EA SPORTS FC franchise would retain many of the features and partnerships they've accumulated over the years.
