With Electronic Arts revealing details about the EA FC24 today, the hype surrounding the upcoming football game is at an all-time high. Hundreds of fans are tuning in to see the successor to the popular FIFA franchise. While the Ultimate Edition cover, featuring a whopping 31 star footballers from worldwide, had been revealed a couple of days ago, the standard edition will reportedly feature only one.
Some of the greatest footballers of our time, from Beckham to Messi, have graced FIFA game covers. The same has been occupied by French maestro Kylian Mbappe since 2021, with Chelsea's Sam Kerr joining him in FIFA 23. With a brand new IP, Electronic Arts have also redone the cover for EA FC24, and reportedly the new kid on the block is Manchester City's Norwegian machine, Erling Haaland himself.
The cover has been released on the PS Store, making it official, and Haaland fans are going berserk over the new design.
