An exciting leak hit the agenda like a bombshell in the gaming world. According to a game retailer, 2K will develop a new football game series by obtaining the official FIFA license. Let’s take a look at the details together.
A new partnership may be forming between 2K and FIFA
Although these claims have not yet been confirmed by official sources, there were rumors earlier in the year that 2K and FIFA were in talks for such a partnership, and they coincide with them. Insider Gaming also stated earlier this year that it had heard that 2K and FIFA were planning to partner to develop an officially licensed FIFA game.
This news comes alongside claims that FIFA 2K25 will be released this year. However, the fact that a game could be ready in such a short time aroused suspicion in some circles. Still, a rival to EA’s football series other than Konami’s eFootball series is definitely a must.
EA announced that it would continue the long-running FIFA series without a FIFA license. This year’s new game, EA Sports FC 24, was a great success, reaching 11.3 million players in its first week. This figure was quite impressive compared to the 10.3 million players reached by last year’s FIFA 23 in the same period. Even though EA lost its FIFA license, it showed that the football game series continues successfully.

EA Sports FC 24 was released at the end of September for PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC and Switch. 2K’s takeover of the FIFA series could be the beginning of a new era for football game fans.
If these leaks are true, the release of FIFA 2K25 will create a huge change in the world of football games. The addition of 2K as a new rival to EA’s years-long dominance could be an exciting development for gamers. Let’s not get too excited until official statements come. What are you thinking?
