EA Sports FC Rival: 2K Games Rumored to Enter FIFA Market

Two years ago, Electronic Arts and FIFA ended their partnership, leading to the creation of EA Sports FC. FIFA president Gianni Infantino vowed to find a new developer to create the best game for football fans. Now, rumors suggest that 2K Games might be the new player in the FIFA market. This potential partnership between FIFA and 2K has sparked excitement among gamers.

Reports from gaming news sites, such as a tweet from Ghanaian retailer MohPlay, hint at a deal between FIFA and 2K Games for a new FIFA title. While 2K Games is known for its NBA, NFL, and WWE titles, venturing into soccer simulations is uncharted territory. Despite lacking experience in modern soccer sims, 2K Games' diverse sports game portfolio could signal a promising collaboration.

However, the likelihood of a new FIFA game this year remains uncertain. Developing a game from scratch in a short timeframe poses challenges. While players welcome competition for the EA series, concerns about microtransactions in 2K games linger, affecting the reception of this potential partnership.
