EA’s subsequent soccer sport goes to be a bit completely different than most of its numerous sports activities releases. That’s as a result of, not like FIFA or Madden, its upcoming FC Tactical is a turn-based RPG-like soccer sport that includes magical-seeming particular strikes. Bizarre, however intriguing!
Introduced on October 11, EA Sports activities’s FC Tactical is a free-to-play soccer sport for cell units launching in 2024. However to be clear: This new sport isn’t changing FC Cell 24 Soccer, the pre-existing EA soccer sport on telephones that performs just like the console model. As an alternative, FC Tactical is one thing very completely different, described by EA in a press launch as a turn-based sport that may include over 5,000 genuine gamers throughout 10 leagues, together with Premier and Ligue 1.
In keeping with EA, matches are “simulated, with turn-based alternatives” the place gamers will select to defend, assault, pull off “talent strikes,” or take photographs at scoring a purpose. Screenshots reveal an interface that appears loads like different turn-based technique video games, simply as a substitute of tanks or fantasy warriors, there are soccer gamers in sports activities arenas.
EA says FC Tactical will characteristic a wide range of modes together with on-line pal matches, ranked play, leagues, and guilds. Of us must “practice gamers” to “grasp high-skill strikes” or unlock particular traits. That sounds loads like that is some bizarre soccer RPG, and issues solely get weirder whenever you have a look at a few of the screenshots featured on the sport’s web site and Google Play Retailer web page.
Among the pictures present soccer gamers pulling off what I’d describe as particular assaults, full with magical-looking visible results like flames and vitality pulses. I don’t anticipate any of those gamers are going to be summoning huge monsters to assist them rating a purpose, however who is aware of?
EA Sport’s FC Tactical launches subsequent 12 months. Gamers can pre-register by way of the Google Play Retailer or Apple App Retailer.
