During E3 2018, EA Sports will reveal the first official information about FIFA 19. An artwork shows Cristiano Ronaldo as a potential cover star.
Update: Here is the final cover of FIFA 19.
In FIFA 18, the focus in Ultimate Team is clearly on the World Cup mode. Not least because there will first be no “Team of the Week” anymore.
However, many eyes are already on FIFA 19, a possible release, and the first announcements or trailers.
On the evening of June 9, the first official info about FIFA 19 will be released
For E3 in Los Angeles, EA announced a reveal: On Saturday, June 9, you can follow the “EA Play” livestream starting at 8 PM, where you will receive all the official information.
What information about FIFA 19 we can expect is still unknown. It may involve the Champions and Europa League licenses, the cover, or even “The Journey 3”. Moreover, questions about when FIFA 19 will be released and when you can pre-order it are possible topics for the press conference.
Cristiano Ronaldo likely again as cover star
You wanted Mohamed Salah, but CR7 is likely to grace FIFA 19 as well. At least, that is what the artwork suggests, which was published together with the stream announcement.
This artwork depicts the superstar in Real Madrid attire against a light blue background. However, due to rumors about a transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, it is not 100% certain that we will actually see him in the royal attire on the FIFA 19 cover.
However, CR7 was not exactly a fan favorite: When we asked you about your cover favorite, the following distribution emerged:
- Mohammed Salah (44%)
- Thomas Müller (18%)
- Cristiano Ronaldo (11%)
- Lionel Messi (7%)
- Paolo Dybala (6%)
What we already know about FIFA 19
Besides the licenses of Serie A and the Champions and Europa League, there is not much confirmed information yet.
The release will probably be, as usual, at the end of September; the release date for FIFA 18 was September 29, 2018. Moreover, FIFA 19 was also announced for the Nintendo Switch – thus, the FIFA project on the Switch is in its second round.
Furthermore, EA is working on getting the new installment of the series into the Chinese Super League. Especially with the stars who are transferring there, this is an attractive league.
