EA Sports, one of the biggest developers and publishers of sports video games, revealed its brand new FC24 Ultimate Edition cover on July 10, Monday. But, in a massive surprise, the headliners for EA Sports FC don't have two of the greatest footballers of all time, namely Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The FC24 is billed as “the next chapter in The World’s Game,” by the makers of EA Sports, after their 30-year partnership with the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) officially ended in May 2022. Both FIFA and Electronic Arts were unable to strike a new licensing deal, which led to the abrupt end of their long-standing collaboration.
