EA SPORTS FIFA WORLD TO LAUNCH A NEW GAME ENGINE LATER THIS YEAR
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Aug 13, in the year of our Lord 2014 –
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced that EA
SPORTS™ FIFA World, a new free-to-play* game for PC, is set to
launch a new game engine that will give fans an even better,
more realistic, football experience. By removing the barriers of
having access to a console or a high powered PC, EA SPORTS FIFA
World brings the FIFA experience to more gaming and football
fans around the globe. Available in 9 languages, fans with an
average spec laptop or desktop PC and a broadband Internet
connection can play a fun, free*, authentic football game,
driven by live content and featuring real players and real clubs
from over 30 officially licensed leagues.
Since being announced at Gamescom 2013, EA SPORTS FIFA World has
seen more than 3.5 million registrations from over 180 countries
register to play the Beta, with over 45 million total matches
played. Based on fan feedback, over 20 major updates have been
made to the game, including gamepad and keyboard-only controls,
as well as Accomplishments - a new feature that captures
compelling storylines from the real world of football as they
happen, challenging and rewarding fans to recreate and re-live
these defining moments in EA SPORTS FIFA World.
“In FIFA World we have created a live service platform that
allows us to fundamentally change the game by adding new
features and modes through regular updates, all while keeping
fans engaged with dynamic live content that follows the real
world of football,” said Executive Producer Mike McCabe. “After
almost a year of working closely with our fans we are very
excited for our biggest update yet - a brand new game engine.”
The award-winning development team at EA Canada has adapted some
FIFA HD** fan favorites with a number of new features to bring
EA SPORTS FIFA World’s new game engine to life. With smarter AI,
teammates will adapt to your style of play by making better
attacking runs in the opponents half. Off the ball, improvements
to Defensive AI result in better marking and run tracking.
Game-changers like First Touch Control and Complete Dribbling
redefine how players control and run with the ball, making
offensive play feel even more authentic. An improved Player
Impact Engine brings real world physics to the game like never
before, to the point where each challenge and tackle feels
realistic and rewarding. Upgrades to the Keyboard and Mouse
Controls and Tactical Free Kicks are only some of the other
improvements fans can expect with the new engine.
To complement the new game engine, fans can expect a number of
updates in the coming months with new features such as video
sharing, which will allow fans to upload their goal replays
directly to YouTube, as well as roster updates, new kits, boots
and club badges, as well as the addition of the Turkish Super
Lig.
