In anofficial statementregarding the decision, EA said: “We’re incredibly excited to build the future of global football with all of you, and will be happy to share more info on EA SPORTS FC in Summer 2023. The future of the sport is very big and bright, and football fandom is reaching across every corner of the world. Global football has been part of EA SPORTS for nearly thirty years – and today, we’re ensuring that it will be for decades to come.” The key takeaway here is that information on EA SPORTS FC 2023 will only begin in Summer 2023. This will allow EA to expand upon their game and implement new ideas and features they otherwise haven’t been able to under the FIFA banner.
