We all know that EA lost the licensing rights to the FIFA name, and this began to take effect last year with the launch of the game EA Sports FC 24, which had higher sales than most previous pieces with the famous brand, but according to a new rumor, it seems that the brand will return, but this time to compete with the EA game.
Insider Zuby Tech noted on the “X” platform that the FIFA title will return, but it will be published by Take-Two, specifically with the 2K Games studio. 2K Games has a strong track record with sports games in general and is considered a strong competitor to EA Sports studios in terms of sports games, and while there is no official confirmation, it is an expected move from FIFA.
It will be difficult for EA in general to keep up with this brand evolution, with the presence of a brand with the FIFA name in the market. This will be a big hurdle for EA Sports FC in general, because the game's fan base or the larger segment is unaware of the creators and all they care about is the title and its return. Shelving means that a new competition will return among football games.
Last year, the president of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) said that it was preparing to compete with EA Sports 24 with its own brand with FIFA 25. Does this mean that the game has been in development for years and will be ready for release this year? That is largely what time will tell.
A year ago, Infantino was talking about it as if it was already being done, claiming that his new game would be released to rival FIFA 25. So, did they just choose 2K now or was 2K already doing this a few years ago? 🤔 Either way, 2K was actually the better option. pic.twitter.com/0jSXNZ2z2J

Tell us your aspirations, dear reader, and what you hope 2K will do with its football game.
