Every year, the new FIFA comes out... This year, EA will release a new part of their world-famous football simulation with FIFA 21. In this post, you will learn about the new features, when the game will be released, and much more.
Electronic Arts' iconic FIFA series attempts to transfer the emotions of football from the pitch to your living room. In particular, the independent control of giants like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, or even real football legends like Lothar Matthäus and Pelé makes the appeal for many players. The developers succeed in this by providing various game modes and a realistic game atmosphere that draws the user in. The most popular mode is FIFA Ultimate Team, in which you can build your own team according to your wishes and dreams and then compete online against other players. But even single-player fans can enjoy FIFA immensely thanks to the popular Career mode, in which you coach and manage a real club.
FIFA obviously speaks first and foremost to the large group of football fans who want to transfer their tactics from their heads into the game simulation. But even if you shouldn't be particularly interested in football, FIFA offers a lot of fun thanks to the simple, yet excellent game mechanics, which is especially recognizable with friends.
Unlike usually, FIFA 21 will not be released in September because of delays in development due to the Corona pandemic. For Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC it will be on October 9, 2020, but FIFA 21 will also be playable on the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles coming out in winter 2020. As with the last FIFA parts, you can play it three days in advance with the Ultimate or Champions Edition.
With the new Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X technologies, Electronic Arts opens up completely new possibilities for optimizing the gaming experience. Graphics and motion sequences are to be improved with new body and motion models, and with the "Deferred Lighting System" used for the first time, they are to be taken to a new level. In addition, the PS5 controller's reactive haptic feedback lets you feel every shot, every pass, and every header up close.
Long loading times are also supposed to be a thing of the past in FIFA 21, as developers are said to be shorten them through technical optimization. But not only for the eyes, also for the ears the new part of the football simulation should be a real treat, because due to a sophisticated, spatial audio technology the stadium atmosphere will be transferred to your living room. In addition, the virtual players should act more authentically and emotionally by adapting facial expressions and gestures.
Many FIFA fans also want the integration of the video assistant, which should make the game even more realistic. Whether EA fulfills this wish remains questionable.
Overall, Electronic Arts is therefore doing everything it can to make its successful FIFA series even more realistic, even more diverse and even more emotional to meet the needs of its loyal community. That they can do that the development studio has already proven with world-famous video game series such as Battlefield, Madden NFL or Need for Speed.
