Football fans around the world are wondering if there will be a new FIFA game release this year. After all, FIFA has been a staple in the video game industry for more than two decades. However, the future of the game has recently come under question due to changes in the partnership between FIFA and EA Sports, the developer of the FIFA video game series.
Will There Be A FIFA in 2023?
No, there will not be a FIFA game released this year. The final FIFA was called FIFA 23 and was released in September 2022. It will be the final game in the FIFA series under the current partnership between FIFA and EA Sports.
Why Is the FIFA Game Series Ending?
After more than two decades of partnership, FIFA and EA Sports announced in May 2022 that their licensing agreement will come to an end after the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The reason for this split was a disagreement over licensing fees and the future direction of the game. FIFA reportedly asked EA to pay $1 billion to continue using the FIFA name, a fee that EA was unwilling to pay. Additionally, FIFA wanted to explore other partnerships and license agreements with other video game developers, which EA was not on board with.

When Does the Next FIFA Release?
No one knows if the series will continue under a new publisher, so there is no word on when the next FIFA will release.
There will not be a new FIFA game released in 2023. After FIFA and EA Sports split, the game will be renamed EA Sports FC. The next game in the EA Sports FC series is expected to be released in 2024. However, EA Sports has stated that they will continue to support FIFA 23 with updates and new content throughout the year. This includes the addition of the Women’s World Cup and other features.
What Was The Last FIFA?
The last FIFA game under the current partnership between FIFA and EA Sports is FIFA 23. This game was released in September 2022 and will be the final game in the series under the FIFA brand name. However, the game will continue to be supported with updates and new content throughout the year.
