- FIFA teams up with Mythical Games, to bring the first official FIFA-licensed mobile game after FIFA Mobile
- Unlike popular soccer sims, FIFA Rivals brings a casual arcadey take on football, and incorporates NFT
- FIFA Rivals is set to go live next Summer across both Android and iOS
Mythical Games, the popular developers behind sports games such as NFL Rivals, has recently announced its latest fast-paced arcade soccer game, FIFA Rivals! The title results from an official partnership deal between Mythical Games and FIFA and, therefore, comes with the official FIFA license. FIFA Rivals is scheduled for a Summer 2025 release on Android and iOS.
Football mobile games have always been fan favorites with simulation titles such as FC Mobile, eFootball, and Dream League Soccer dominating the market, Football Manager, Soccer Manager, and Top Eleven have been some of the most downloaded soccer-management sims. FIFA Rivals becomes the latest addition to this list providing a arcadey take on the world’s game so that anyone can pick up and play.
Create your team from scratch and reshape the history of football
Unlike FIFA’s previous venture with EA, FC Mobile, previously FIFA Mobile, FIFA Rivals promises to offer an arcade-style experience while staying true to the game’s core elements. As a player, you will be tasked to create and manage your own club in your very own shape. You will nurture talents and upgrade them to the modern tactics that suit your playstyle.
You will then use your team to battle against other players in real-time PvP arcade matches. Since the title comes with FIFA’s official license, you are expected to have the FIFPRO license as well, meaning you should be able to manage and play with authentic real-life footballers with their accurate play styles and likenesses.
Although the game will give you the true essence of the sport, do remember that FIFA Rivals aims to deliver a fast-paced matchday experience rather than its other popular clichéd simulation contemporaries. Besides being a free-to-play title, FIFA Rivals integrates Web3 elements, allowing you to buy, sell, and trade your favorite football players in a dedicated marketplace that utilizes Mythos blockchain.
We’re thrilled to partner with Mythical Games to launch FIFA Rivals, bringing football fans a mobile-first gaming experience that deepens their connection to the sport. The game is an innovative and accessible addition to our expanding gaming and esports portfolio
