After the end of the agreement between EA Games and FIFA, the iconic soccer series FIFA was also lost to history. However, in a statement by the football federation, it was stated that the series will continue with a different developer. New claims reveal that the FIFA series will be developed by 2K Games.
Is FIFA 2K game on the way?
New leaks in the gaming industry revealed that FIFA and 2K Games have established a partnership. It is said that this game, which is planned to be more comprehensive than the old productions, will serve as a football simulation. Let us remind you that 2K Games is the producer of series such as NBA and WWE.
It is not yet clear how 2K Games will compete with EA Sports. The company, which is unrivaled in the football world with EA Sports FC 24, may have to face a new production like FIFA 2K.
EA Sports has had an exclusive license agreement with FIFA for over 25 years to release football games. However, this partnership ended in 2023 due to FIFA’s demand for a $1 billion license fee.
The soccer federation announced that it would look for a new partner after the agreement could not be reached. 2K Games, known for popular sports series such as NBA 2K and WWE 2K, seems to be an ideal partner for the federation.
The FIFA 2K game could be released simultaneously with the 2026 World Cup in North America. This could help promote the rebooted series with the World Cup. However, there has been no official announcement from both sides.
