According to the football body, talks are ongoing with leading game publishers, media companies and investors regarding the development of a new FIFA simulation soccer game for 2024 that will compete directly with the EA Sports FC series.
However, FIFA announced that several non-simulator games are already in production and will be released in the third quarter of this year, the first of which is a worthy work of the player experience and includes the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar. It seems that FIFA means this non-simulator game related to one of the introduced blockchain games. Otherwise, we have to wait for its introduction by FIFA before the start of the World Cup.
