FIFA 21. What is known about the game right now

The release of the new version of the football simulator is scheduled for September, but even these plans may change


When is FIFA 21 coming out?

The previous three versions of the game were released on the last Friday of September. This time the release should take place on Friday, September 25th. However, football is stopped right now due to the pandemic. Will the coronavirus affect EA Sports' plans?

Sadly, it looks like COVID-19 will also affect the world's biggest-selling football franchise. After all, how can they replicate the 2020/21 season if it doesn't start in the fall?

We haven't heard anything specific from the developers yet, but chances are high that the game won't hit stores by the end of the year.

When is the FIFA 21 Demo coming out?

The demo is usually released two to three weeks before the game itself, so we usually expect it from EA in early September. Again, this is likely to largely depend on how soon the football season is resumed. We advise you not to wait for the trial version at the beginning of autumn.

Who will be on the cover of the game?


The face of FIFA 20 instead of Cristiano Ronaldo is the newcomer of Real Madrid, Eden Hazard. However, in his debut season for the “creamy” the Belgian had problems with injuries and playing form. We believe that EA will look for an alternative.

When PES acquired the rights to Juventus, it became clear that FIFA 21 would not return to the Ronaldo option. And this is unlikely to be Messi, since Barcelona is a partner of Konami, which creates PES.

We dare to assume that it will be someone from the great Liverpool, storming the top of the Premier League, and also won the Champions League last season. Sadio Mane or Mohammed Salah are worthy contenders. And then there's Virgil van Dijk, who has also achieved superstar status. Another opportunity for EA is to negotiate with PSG's Kylian MbappĂ©.

There is already a poll among fans of the franchise who should be on the cover, but Asian fans have tried there - the leaders are Son Heung Min (38%) from Tottenham and Wu Lei (37%) from Espanyol.

How will the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles affect the game?

Given that the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft will not be on sale until the end of November, FIFA 21 should be released in regular format for PS4 and Xbox One, and then re-released on new consoles with improved graphics before Christmas.

Will there be a special edition of the game dedicated to Euro 2020?

Historically, separate games from FIFA were released for the World and European Championships, but this did not happen during the last tournament draws.

Konami, in turn, acquired the rights to Euro 2016 and released additional downloadable content for PES. They also have the rights to the next tournament, which will most likely take place next summer. The same cannot be said about EA.

How will the game change?




The battle between EA Sports and Konami continues. FIFA has already been deprived of the right to use the logo and the name of Juventus, which became known as Piemonte Calcio.

But a much more serious question is the graphics of the game. Critics and gamers alike generally agree that PES has a much better gameplay experience. It will be interesting to see if FIFA 21 can stand up to its main competitor visually. For this, the latest 3D scanning system of players will be used, which will become as realistic as possible. True, this will happen after the release of the game on the next generation console.

Will Volta Mode get updates?


Volta mode has become the main novelty of FIFA 20 - it is "back to basics", or rather - the emergence of street football with teams of several people and futsal elements. Most likely, in the new version of the game, FIFA Street will become even brighter, adding grounds and plot meaning.

What's changing in Ultimate Team?

The main question is whether EA Sports will change the main element of this mode - buying players for real money.

The developers responded to all critics with accusations about siphoning money from children, that they have the opportunity to receive free packs and wait for football stars in them.

Yes, free packs may have kept some players from spending large sums of money, but you will still get Granite Jaka or Troy Dini, and your opponents often turn out to be football stars who were bought for donations.


Will there be VAR in FIFA 21?


The video replay system has not yet been used in the simulator for the reason that VAR regularly causes a lot of debate and scandals. There is currently no evidence that a video assistant referee will appear in FIFA 21. Let's see how the developers can maintain the fine line between fun and realism in the game
