EA Sports has announced a new game in its popular football franchise, EA Sports FC Tactical, which will be released for iOS and Android devices in early 2024. The game is a free-to-play spinoff that turns football into a turn-based strategy game, where players can control over 5,000 real players from more than 10 prominent leagues, including the Premier League, LALIGA EA SPORTS, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A. It is slated to release in early 2024.
The game features interactive simulation and strategic gameplay, where players can attack, defend, perform skill moves, and more in each turn. The game will also emphasize in-game strategies such as stamina and power-play management.
EA Sports FC senior vice president and general manager, Nick Wlodyka, said that the game will offer “an all-new football experience that immerses players in the world’s game like never before”.
