After nearly 30 years, the end of an era has come.
The partnership between EA Sports and FIFA has reportedly come to an end after the two sides failed to come to an agreement on extending their business relationship, according to Tariq Panja of The New York Times. The current deal will end at at the completion of the women’s World Cup next summer.
Once the deal expires, the video game series once known as FIFA will go by a new name: EA Sports FC.
The biggest change to the game will be that the World Cup itself and other FIFA-controlled events will not be featured, though most players and clubs will still be usable.
