To FIFA 18, the reveal trailer has been released. There is also a release date for PS4, Xbox One, and PC – an answer to the question: “When is FIFA 18 coming out?” The cover star is also known!
FIFA 18 will introduce the second season for the story mode “The Journey” and bring some innovations – especially in Ultimate Team. These are all the information available about the 25th installment of the football simulation from EA Sports.
Until now. Because today, on June 5, 2017, the reveal trailer for FIFA 18 was released. A specific release date has also been revealed:
- FIFA 18 will be released on September 29, 2017. That’s a Friday.
Here is the first official footage that the FIFA community will see for FIFA 18:
FIFA 18 – Cover star is Cristiano Ronaldo
It is “Game Engine Footage”. The focus is on Cristiano Ronaldo. He will be the new cover star of FIFA 18:
In the fine print at the end of the trailer, it states that the Frostbite engine and the “The Journey: Hunter Returns” mode (this is the next season of the story mode) will only be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Not all features will be available on all platforms.
Important: At the end of the short trailer, the logo for PlayStation 4 Pro appears. This means that there is now a marketing deal between EA and Sony. In recent years there was such a deal between EA and Microsoft with the Xbox. This confirms the leak from a few days ago.
This marketing deal has provided Xbox players with legend cards in recent years. In FIFA 18, legends are expected to be replaced: They are now called “Icons.” Icons will be available on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4.
A legend (Icon) is already known: Ronaldo (that is, the Brazilian Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima). This comes from a special edition of FIFA 18:
