FIFA Rivals promises arcade-style football for mobile

FIFA is teaming up with Mythical Games to launch FIFA Rivals, an officially licensed mobile football game that promises a fresh, arcade-style experience. Scheduled for release on iOS and Android in the summer of 2025, FIFA Rivals aims to differentiate itself from traditional football simulators like eFootball and EA Sports FC Mobile by offering faster, more dynamic gameplay.

Following the end of a 30-year partnership with EA Sports, FIFA is now exploring new avenues to expand its reach. This collaboration with Mythical Games, known for the successful NFL Rivals which has surpassed six million downloads, is a strategic move to tap into the non-simulation gaming market. Given football's global popularity, FIFA Rivals is poised to set new records.

In FIFA Rivals, players will have the opportunity to build and manage their own football club from the ground up. Engage in real-time PvP matches, level up your squad, and experience the thrill of arcade-style football. The game's core mechanics may seem familiar, but the emphasis on fast-paced action sets it apart.

Whether you're looking for casual fun or competitive strategy, FIFA Rivals caters to both play styles. The game's arcade approach is designed to bring a new level of excitement to mobile football gaming.

A notable feature of FIFA Rivals is its integration with the Mythos blockchain. This technology enables players to own, buy, sell, and trade their favorite football stars within in-game marketplaces, offering a unique level of engagement and control over your team.

FIFA Rivals will be free-to-play, making it accessible to everyone eager to dive into the action. While we await its summer 2025 release, keep an eye on the official X page for the latest updates and news.
