As announced, Electronic Arts today revealed all the details about EA Sports FC 27, the new chapter of the famous football simulation, starting from the launch date: September 25th. Dominating the scene since the announcement we find Real Madrid stars Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, chosen as the leading faces for the special Ultimate Plus Edition of the game. As already announced, Mbappé will stand alone on the covers of the Standard and Ultimate editions, confirming his role as a global ambassador of the franchise.

Once on the field, in the new EA Sports FC 27 we will have a range of new features designed to make the experience even richer and deeper. Among the most important additions stands out The Grounds, a new social platform that will allow us to experience the culture of football even outside the classic stadiums. In this mode we will be able to play rhythmic friendly challenges or high-level competitions within three characteristic neighborhoods, with the possibility of developing and customizing our alter ego under the protective wing of famous mentors, including Mbappé himself, Paulo Dybala and the legend Alex Hunter.

Even those who prefer the management aspect will find bread for their teeth: in fact, we will have to deal with a completely revolutionized Career Transfer Market supported by the TransferRoom system. In the Career Manager we will sign future promises by facing much more realistic negotiations, in which the value of the players will fluctuate dynamically according to their potential, the form and the purchasing power of the clubs. We will therefore have to refine our negotiation tactics to overcome rival clubs in heated and unpredictable auctions. Collectors, on the other hand, will be able to dive into the brand new Football Ultimate Team Album, completing sets of cards of historical and current athletes to accumulate rewards and strengthen their team's identity.

On the gameplay front, the development team has integrated community feedback to ensure greater responsiveness of controls, more dynamic corner kicks, a rebalanced defensive artificial intelligence and much more accurate offensive positioning. All this is supported by a monumental licensing sector: we will step on the grass of over 130 official stadiums, putting ourselves in the shoes of over 21,000 athletes from as many as 800 different clubs, with the presence of over 35 iconic leagues and tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League, the Premier League and several prominent women's leagues.

Those who decide to opt for the very rich Ultimate Plus Edition will secure a package of benefits of great depth, facing the new season with a considerable advantage. This premium version will in fact guarantee us up to seven days of early access starting September 18, a Premium Pass valid for the first five seasons and an endowment of 10,000 FC Points progressively disbursed over five months. At the team level, we will get for the Ultimate Team an International Icon player with a rating of more than 85, the choice of a star among five legends of the Hall of FUT, additional Evolution slots and stat boosts that we can take advantage of while waiting for launch. There will also be exclusive Career rewards, including boosts for the five-star trainer and scout, as well as an official suit and cosmetic items dedicated to the experience in The Grounds.

Finally, we remind you that, also starting from September 18, subscribers to the EA Play service on XBOX will have the opportunity to take the field first by taking advantage of the usual 10-hour free trial, testing in advance all the news of this football year.

We leave you with the reveal trailer, showing all the news of the game. Enjoy the viewing!
