FIFA Rumoured To Team Up With 2K for Future Football Games To Rival Future EA Sports FC Titles; All You Need To Know
There’s a new rumour floating around on the Internet claiming that FIFA, the all-seeing football authority body, has finally found its video game partner studio to rival EA Sports FC games. Currently, there’s only one major player in the football simulation genre, with EA dominating. However, it seems that FIFA’s earlier plans of coming up with a rival product might finally be underway.
But how do you challenge the dominance of EA in this genre? This is where 2K Sports, creators of NBA 2K, have entered the picture, as per X user @Zuby_Tech, who is known for leaking images of the PlayStation Portal. However, the report claims that EA has chosen 2K to make the next FIFA, and it is unclear if the work has been under development already. This would make sense if FIFA were seriously targeting for the FIFA 25 title to come out. FIFA President Gianni Infantino had said last year that news about licensed games would arrive soon, and that FIFA 25 will be the first title to compete with EA’s FC titles.
EA and FIFA ended their long-running partnership of 30 years with FIFA 23, the last-ever collaborative title from them. Infantino had also said that “the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans.”

This brings us to now, with EA Sports most likely already having figured out what their plans for EA FC 25 are, given that the studio releases a football game every year, similar to Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty franchise. If Infantino’s earlier statements still hold true with no changes, there may well be a FIFA title coming out by next year to challenge EA’s supremacy.
Regardless, there is no official confirmation of such a collaboration between FIFA and 2K, so take this rumour with a pinch of salt.
