EA FC Mobile has been announced, featuring Vinícius Júnior as the ‘cover star’
The game will launch globally in September
EA Sports has announced EA Sports FC Mobile, the latest in its series of mobile football games.
The first in the rebranded series following the dropping of the FIFA licence, EA Sports FC mobile will launch globally on September 26.
It’s also been announced that Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior will feature as the game’s “cover star.” This likely refers to the fact that Vini Jr will feature prominently on the game’s menus, because being a mobile title the game has no ‘cover’ as such.
“I’m excited to be featured as the cover star for EA Sports FC Mobile and look forward to sharing this excitement with fans worldwide,” Vinícius Júnior said in a statement.
“Football is more than just a sport, and to play a part in inviting more people into this celebration is a dream.”
According to EA, EA Sports FC Mobile will feature:
- True Player Personality: The world’s most recognizable players come to life with True Player Personality. Authentic running styles, penalty kick stances and celebrations for certain players, all bring EA SPORTS FC MOBILE to a new level of authenticity.
- Dynamic Game Speed: Mobile-first and tactile game speed, allowing for more player personality and attribute impact on the pitch.
- Elite Shooting System: Revamped shooting system allows impact players to show up on the scoresheet and make their mark. Feel rewarded when you make smart shooting decisions both inside and outside the box, on a cross, or off the volley. Take control of your favorite attackers and rally your team to victory.
- Impact Controls:
- Power Shot: Unleash a high-powered shot that leaves keepers clawing at air. Load up your shot when you’re in space to harness the full potential of Power Shot. Balance the risk and reward of the Power Shot to devastate your opponent and take the lead.
- Knock On Dribble: Bring your pacey dribblers to top speed faster by knocking the ball ahead into space. Take advantage of your opponent’s high defensive back-line by having your rapid attackers push ahead in a fluid manner. Dribbling with true speedsters takes on a whole new feeling.
- Hard Tackle: Make your presence felt and assert dominance in defense and midfield by launching a crunching stand tackle. Separate your opponent’s attackers from the ball or make a last-ditch block with new Hard Tackles.
