The Euros and Copa America just wrapped up and all of the focus for the global soccer calendar is now squarely on the start of next year. The story is the same for the digital soccer-sphere and EA Sports FC 25 is making its first announcement for the upcoming installation in the franchise with their new face of the game, Jude Bellingham. Having just fallen short with England for Euro glory to Spain but winning the premier club competition with Real Madrid, Bellingham is one of the biggest rising stars in the entire world. The specific image chose for the cover was his own celebration delivered just after scoring the late stoppage time winner against Real's fierce rivals Barcelona last April.
I'm excited to hear more about EA Sports FC 25 and dig into gameplay and game mode enhancements but for now all we get is cover and reveal trailer hype. Although eagle eyed viewers might note the small field 5v5 in the trailer complete with old late 90s MLS style 1v1 shootouts in the trailer. Interested to see where that mode goes. It all feels very much like the preseason snippets of news that might be filtering in from whomever is your European club team at the moment.
