FIFA 2K23: The historical revolution that could come out in 2022
2K is in
very advanced talks to acquire the license that until now was owned by the EA
Sports brand. According to Metro.co.uk´s
article, 2K is
in very advanced talks to acquire the license that until now was owned by
the EA Sports brand.
A major
change is coming in the world of football (soccer) video games. The end of FIFA
video games produced by EA Sports could be very close. It is not yet official,
but the two companies have said that the end of their relationship could be
pretty close, thus ending a union that has been synonymous with success for
decades.
Strauss
Zelnick, head
of 2K, along with the rest of the investors in his company, is one
of the people who is closely evaluating the evolution of the situation to
launch into this possible agreement. Asked about this question, Zelnick preferred
to throw basketball outside talking about another of his great releases, the
soccer platform game Top Eleven through developer Nordeus.
"We are delighted to have Nordeus in the Take-Two family. He is hitting it and Top Eleven is a great and much loved title. I couldn't be more pleased to be in the football manager business through Top Eleven with the Nordeus team.
" On the possibility of acquiring the FIFA license to launch fully into the production of this new video game, Zelnick left the thing up in the air: "It is a great step forward for us ... we have not been in that sport before. And I think I'll leave it like that for today. "
Indeed, conversations between the developer and FIFA have existed, although the differences between the two proposals are economic, since the International Federation hopes to get a greater amount of money for its name compared to that received in its previous union with EA Sports.
It is still
too early to know what will happen, but it seems an exciting panorama if 2K
Sports finally develops a football video game. For many, NBA
2K is considered the best and most realistic sports video game. 2K could
surprise us in 2022 with FIFA 2K23, a new soccer
video game that could mark an era. Who knows, time will tell.
