FIFA Rivals: Arcade Football Hits Mobile

FIFA is teaming up with Mythical Games to launch FIFA Rivals, an officially licensed mobile football game that promises a fresh, arcade-style experience. Set to hit iOS and Android devices soon, FIFA Rivals offers a departure from the conventional simulation games like eFootball and EA Sports FC Mobile, aiming for a more dynamic and fast-paced gameplay.

After three decades with EA Sports, FIFA's split has prompted the organization to explore new partnerships. This collaboration with Mythical Games, known for the success of NFL Rivals which boasts over six million downloads, positions FIFA to tap into non-simulation gaming markets. Given football's global popularity, FIFA Rivals is poised to set new records.

In FIFA Rivals, you'll start from the ground up, building and managing your football club. Engage in real-time PvP matches, where the emphasis is on action-packed, arcade-style football. This approach aims to cater to both casual and competitive players, offering a different kind of thrill on the field.

The game introduces blockchain integration through the Mythos platform, allowing you to own, buy, sell, and trade your favorite players in in-game marketplaces. This feature enhances player engagement by giving you more control over your team's roster.

While we await a specific release date, FIFA Rivals is expected to launch in summer 2025. It will be free-to-play, making it accessible to everyone eager to dive into the action. For the latest updates, you can check out the official X page.
