FIFA players have long-been asking EA Sports for a World Cup mode to coincide with this year’s competition.
According to Goal, The World Cup download will arrive in spring and be available PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows.
Last September, Spanish commentator Manolo Lama confirmed he was to record commentary for the expansion.
There’s no word yet as to whether the mode will be a free update – but if history is anything to go by, it’s most likely going to be
He told Radio COPE: “I have to record it for FIFA World Cup in December, I think it will be out in February or March.”
The World Cup kicks off on June 14, so it’s likely the expansion will land sometime before then to give it the longest shelf life possible.
It’s not the first time EA Sports has chosen to update a game rather than release a standalone product.
Back in May 29 2014, EA added a special Ultimate Team: World Cup mode to FIFA 14 – and better yet, it didn’t cost a penny.
It arrived as a free update – a welcome change given how strongly EA leans on the in-game purchase model.
EA will be missing a huge trick if they do not include a World Cup mode
The mode featured players and kits from all 32 teams taking part. It even included the official adidas Brazuca match ball and Estadio do Maracana in Rio.
There were new player items, too – with updated player images and a fresh World Cup theme to make your squad stand out. Some players even received updated stats for the World Cup alone.
New cards and ratings will surely be part of the promotion
But it gets better.
Back then, there was a two-for-one promotion on FUT packs – which meant you got a free normal Gold pack in every World Cup pack opened.
Yes, you read that right.
The mode could be played offline and online – so was accessible to all
You could even play through the full tournament online or offline, from the groups to the knock-out stages. Incredible.
FIFA 14 really brought the World Cup to life – but this year the Frostbite engine should blow it out of the water
