EA’s subsequent soccer recreation goes to be a bit completely different than most of its numerous sports activities releases. That’s as a result of, not like FIFA or Madden, its upcoming FC Tactical is a turn-based RPG-like soccer recreation that includes magical-seeming particular strikes. Bizarre, however intriguing!
Introduced on October 11, EA Sports activities’s FC Tactical is a free-to-play soccer recreation for cellular gadgets launching in 2024. However to be clear: This new recreation isn’t changing FC Cell 24 Soccer, the pre-existing EA soccer recreation on telephones that performs just like the console model. As a substitute, FC Tactical is one thing very completely different, described by EA in a press launch as a turn-based recreation that may include over 5,000 genuine gamers throughout 10 leagues, together with Premier and Ligue 1.
Based on EA, matches are “simulated, with turn-based alternatives” the place gamers will select to defend, assault, pull off “talent strikes,” or take photographs at scoring a aim.

EA says FC Tactical will characteristic a wide range of modes together with on-line pal matches, ranked play, leagues, and guilds.

That sounds so much like that is some bizarre soccer RPG, and issues solely get weirder once you take a look at a number of the screenshots featured on the sport’s web site and Google Play Retailer web page.
A number of the pictures present soccer gamers pulling off what I might describe as particular assaults, full with magical-looking visible results like flames and vitality pulses. I don’t count on any of those gamers are going to be summoning large monsters to assist them rating a aim, however who is aware of?
EA Sport’s FC Tactical launches subsequent 12 months. Gamers can pre-register by way of the Google Play Retailer or Apple App Retailer.
