EA Sports FC 26 one step away from official announcement. Game is backed by a soccer legend

Each year sees a fresh addition to the EA Sports FC series (previously FIFA). As autumn draws near, Electronic Arts has unveiled some initial details for EA Sports FC 26 – the identity and likeness of the individual featured on the cover of the Ultimate Edition have been announced.

Return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic

This year, it will be Zlatan Ibrahimović, the renowned Swedish footballer who once played for teams like A.C. Milan, FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus before retiring two years ago, who is set to make a comeback.

This morning saw the release of the announcement, which bore the signature: “You requested it. Zlatan returns.” The celebrity additionally penned on his social media platform X, “An FC without Zlatan feels incomplete.” “Here I am again.

It’s worth mentioning that the design of the cover is reminiscent of a photo taken during Ibrahimovic’s younger years, when he was influenced by the career of Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima. Most fans appear to be content with this selection, but some critics argue that for a company as prominent as EA, the cover lacks the expected grandeur and appears rather cheap.

Despite some reservations, numerous gaming enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the launch of EA Sports FC 26. Luckily, fans won’t have to wait much longer for a sneak peek, as we’ll be unveiling the first trailer today at 9:00 am Pacific Time.

As a dedicated fan, I’m confidently anticipating that EA Sports FC 26 will follow the trend of its predecessors and drop in the latter half of September. Given Electronic Arts’ commitment to supporting older consoles, it’s reasonable to expect that this game will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 1, and Nintendo Switch 2.
