Everybody’s favorite football game is just around the corner. With FIFA 22 almost eight months in, people have been speculating about the release of the next installment. While FIFA has received a fair bit of criticism over the years, it has still remained the best football game out there. Sure, there is PES and other developers are also trying to offer some competition, but EA sports remains the best football game developer out there.
Unfortunately, however, FIFA 23 could be the last time EA gets to use the FIFA name as the footballing organization ended its ties with the video game developer. While this is a very big deal, it won’t stop EA from developing more football games under a different name. If you are a FIFA fan, you might be wondering when the next installment of this video game franchise will be released. While the developer has not provided an official date, industry insiders speculate that it could be around September or October, just like last year.

After the release of FIFA 22 last year, there were plenty of rumors going around, suggesting that this could be the last collaboration between EA and FIFA. Initially, not many people paid attention to these reports because the EA and FIFA partnership had been going on for almost 3 decades and things were going relatively smoothly.
Now, however, it is all but confirmed that FIFA and EA have parted ways and EA plans to continue producing football games without football’s governing body. The upcoming football game by EA will be known as EA Sports FC.
What Caused the Partnership to End
It would be fair to say that the partnership between FIFA and EA was arguably the most successful in the commercial world. It is a major reason why sports fans were shocked after learning that the two decided to go different ways. FIFA and Electronic Arts had tense negotiations for months, where both tried to continue their longstanding partnership. However, the two could not come to an

FIFA is undoubtedly the world’s biggest football video game enjoyed by millions across the globe. The game became an instant hit upon its release during the late 90s and its developer, EA, already has more than 20 FIFA iterations under its belt. Seeing how the game’s popularity has been increasing every year, it does not look like EA will stop developing this juggernaut of a football game anytime soon.
Despite being incredibly popular, FIFA games have received an astonishing amount of criticism from gamers across the globe. One of the main bones of contention people have with FIFA is its ever-increasing microtransactions. The game’s famous online version Ultimate Team, in particular, is famous for these transactions, which make more than 30 percent of the game's revenue.
Despite these and a few other problems, however, FIFA still remains the undisputed king in the gaming world, and its ever-increasing pool of players proves that. If you always find yourself on the fence when

A week ago news website PlayStation Lifestyle reported that there was a company named Simulmedia that was looking to implement mobile-style advertisements into console games. In that report, the company claimed that EA signed a deal to work those ads in. This week, EA denied those reports and said that they’re not currently looking at those style ads in games.
The rebuttal came after the story gained traction, with EA saying that they haven’t signed any type of agreement with Simulmedia and that they’re not going to be putting paid ads into games in the way
At this point, Simulmedia has not issued a comment on why they said that they’re working with EA. The company also said that they’re working with Hi-Rez Studios, who’s known for putting out the games Smite and Paladins.
A statement from EA regarding the matter read in part: “Following incorrect reports suggesting that we are looking to introduce ‘TV-style’ commercials into our games, we wanted to clarify that in-game

One of the first complaints that players had with the first DICE Battlefront game was that the game didn't have any space battles.
This was a feature in the original Battlefront franchise that a lot of fans appreciated. Thankfully, Battlefront 2 will be getting space battles and the gameplay has been showcased in a brand new trailer from EA.
A brand new game mode is coming to Star Wars Battlefront 2 called Starfighter Assault - this is the mode that will incorporate most of the new space gameplay. In Starfighter Assault, one team must work together to destroy a starfighter, while the other team must try to keep it alive.
Players will have the opportunity to fly through space in a number of popular Star Wars spaceships, including TIE Fighters and A-Wings.
Besides the space combat, everything else about the new Starfighter Assault mode will remain the same. This means players will be able to use various pickups spread around the arena.

It's almost been two years since the first DICE Battlefront game, and now another one is on the horizon.
The first DICE-EA Battlefront tile may not have been accepted well by the community, but DICE has had chance to learn from their mistakes and they're hoping Battlefront 2 will be appreciated by FPS and Star Wars fans alike.
First things first, the new Battlefront 2 game is slated for a Holiday 2017 release, which means it'll most likely arrive around the same time of the year the first Battlefront title did in 2015. DICE will also be getting help this time round from another studio. The studio which has been hired to help out is none other than Criterion, the same guys behind the explosive Burnout video game series.
Another newly formed development team named Motive Studios will also be helping out. So far we're not sure how much of a part either of the other two developers will play in the development process, but DICE will be the main team, with Criterion and Motive

Respawn Entertainment is going to great lengths to get new players into the world of Titanfall 2.
Alongside EA's help, Respawn has now released a free trial for Titanfall 2 that will allow players to try out the game before purchasing it.
The trial has launched as a freebie for those with EA Access or Origin Access. Alternatively, those without EA/Origin Access can pay $4.99 for the first month, cancel their subscription and then use their first month to play the Titanfall 2 trial. The best option though, is for players to wait till December 2nd and pick up the trial for free - at this point, even those without Origin Access will have the ability to play the trial on PS4, Xbox One or PC.
The Titanfall 2 trial will end on December 4 - after the trial ends, players will be able to purchase the game if they'd like to continue with the stats they left with. The trial will be limited to multiplayer, but there will be no content restrictions and the trial can be played without
