Electronic Arts Inc. last week launched EA SPORTS™ FIFA 20 across PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC. Fans can experience the brand-new VOLTA FOOTBALL mode, inspired by the small-sided form of football played in the streets, cages and futsal courts across the world. Players can also jump into FIFA Ultimate Team™ to play new social experiences such as FUT Friendlies or check out Season Objectives where they can unlock new club customization content.
Since EA Access** and Origin Access** launch last week, millions of players around the world have already started to build their dream squads and gone head-to-head on the pitch, with more than 57 million total matches played, 3.2 million squads created, and over 52 million goals scored in the game.
“Each year we look to add more ways for our players to engage, from mode innovations to gameplay mechanics to delivering the most authentic experience to date,” said Aaron McHardy, Executive Producer for EA SPORTS FIFA. “This year, we’ve also introduced VOLTA FOOTBALL that adds a completely new dimension to the game and brings FIFA 20 back to the streets and futsal courts where a lot of football players from all over the world started out. It’s an experience our players have asked us to bring back, which we’re excited to deliver as we continue to build the world’s game.”
In VOLTA FOOTBALL, players build their own character, express their individual style, and immerse themselves in a realistic small sided experience. A brand-new style of gameplay grounded in football realism immerses players in the flow of the street with new tools including simplified flicks and skill moves, new flair animations, or using the wall as a teammate.
In addition, more than 30 official leagues, 700 teams, 17,000 authentic players, and 90 licensed stadiums from all over the world bring one of the most authentic sports video games to life. Check out all the available licenses, including exclusive access to the world’s biggest competitions, from the pinnacle of club football with the UEFA Champions League to the unrivalled fandom of the Bundesliga, Premier League, LaLiga Santander and so much more here.
